SHE LEADS CONFERENCE YWCA Adelaide held its second annual SHE Leads Conference in the August of 2013 almost doubling the inaugural attendance attracting more than 200 women to the stunning Venue Sponsor, the National Wine Centre. Leading women delivered powerful plenary sessions addressing Global, National and Local women’s leadership aspects and break-out sessions focussed on practical development tools such as public speaking and networking. Sponsors included Flinders University, ASC and SA Power Networks and YWCA welcomed 891 ABC Adelaide as its Conference Media Partner. As a result of participating in the SHE Leads Conference, 87% of delegates reported they feel ’more inspired to take on a leadership role’. “I loved being able to spend a day unapologetically being a woman & a feminist!” “After today, I am ready to take on a leadership role opportunity in the workplace.” “Lean in and ask for my next opportunity rather than waiting for it.”
