CWSR Women in Resilience Lunch

On 12th December 2024, Caroline hosted a CWSR Women in Resilience lunch at the PA office in Victoria. The event brought together 25 professional women from diverse sectors, including public administration, academia, energy and financial services, all united by their passion for building resilience.

This lunch facilitated networking and the opportunity to share knowledge and thoughts on the resilience industry. Each shared their unique story, detailing their experiences, background, and interest in resilience. The diversity and depth of these stories were not only empowering and inspiring, but also laid a strong foundation for cross-industry collaboration. This collective action is crucial in addressing resilience challenges and for sharing approaches and ideas to foster whole society resilience.

We brainstormed ideas for future focus areas for CWSR Women in Resilience, spanning: (i) Community Building and Networking, (ii) Mentorship, Leadership Development and Empowerment, (iii) Learning and Knowledge Sharing, (iv) Strategic Influence and Advocacy, and (v) Innovation and Adaptation, particularly in response to climate change.

We look forward to advancing on these focus areas, organising more events in the future and expanding our female community; all to promote and strengthen whole society resilience. Please do reach out if you are interested in joining the Women in Resilience network and attending future events!
