Noosa charity WomenKind is hosting an annual International Women’s Day fundraising lunch on Tuesday 8 March for the third successive year.
In 2022, the global theme is break the bias, with the stated vision to: “Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality“.
WomenKind spokesperson Josanne Falla said, “This year in Noosa we are inviting our friends, colleagues and champions of change to join together and imagine how we all might break the bias we see in both our lives and for others we know.
“We will be joined by inspiring speakers from diverse backgrounds about how they have broken through, grown through or called out bias in their lives.
“Our event is not only about connecting with each other and sharing ideas about how we can make our community a more equal place, it’s about raising money for vulnerable women and families and working towards a goal of creating affordable housing options for those who need them most.
“Our event will be hosted by Telstra Public Sector and Academia Businesswoman of the Year 2020, a passionate advocate of leadership with grit and grace, Jeanette Allom-Hill.
“She will be joined by speakers Clare Stewart, Noosa Mayor, Noosa Councillor Amelia Lorentson, global best-selling cookbook creator Kim McCosker, musical artist and record label owner Andrea Kirwin and SheEO Venture Winner and Superfierce founder Trenna Probert.
“While the event is sold out, the wider community is welcome to support our fundraising goal for 2022 to provide housing for vulnerable local women by buying some raffle tickets – with the main prize being a custom designed 9 foot Mal by Josh Constable, world surfing champion and local owner of Creative Army surfboards.“
