FUTURE FOCUS This dynamic organisation is rich in ideas, energy and initiative. Our future is founded in a solid past, but is one that can demonstrate capacity to collaborate, is focused on building diversity, and is highly engaged in local, national and international community issues for women. As membership associations work increasingly together, this will only strengthen our national profile and empower us to do more. We look forward to the coming year in which we will:  Strengthen our initiatives in developing women’s leadership  Increase the diversity of the community engaged in our programs and services  Expand dialogue with our stakeholders including our membership younger and older  Continue to innovate in the programs and events we deliver, whilst strengthening our reporting on their impact  Strengthen our focus on sustainability and opportunity in a changing funding environment  Continue to encourage public discussion and debate on the issues that are important to us in furthering gender equity and addressing the needs of women and girls  Embrace a national brand to further articulate who we are and our purpose in what we do.
