Lyn Hawkins, National Director of BWA said, “We see this partnership as the beginning of a powerful conduit for women helping to remove barriers to success.
“This is a significant partnership that will bring valuable knowledge and networks to the Business Women Australia community helping shape a better future for business in Australia.
“The world needs more female leaders who have the skills, confidence, and experience that this partnership will deliver. Research consistently indicates that companies who have more women on boards and in the C-suite roles perform better across many important financial and organisational metrics.”
Linda Brown, President Torrens University Australia said, “Our University has the highest ranking among Australian universities for enrolments by women in non-traditional backgrounds, meaning we are ensuring women continue to forge into new pathways and new industries.
“I’m proud that we have female leadership in our executive team, in our Deans, across program leadership, and in our alumni community.”
