The theme of International Women’s Day 2021 is “Choose to Challenge.”
Urban Taskforce Australia held their annual event to celebrate the day and acknowledge women’s contribution to our industry with a lunch to challenge our thinking.
With the theme “A Stronger Industry – new ways to flourish”, the event’s speakers were Sue Francis, Melanie Kurzydlo and Nicki Hutley.
