EMBED SLIDESHOW HERE SHE LEADS CONFERENCE 2015 On Friday 21 August 2015 YWCA Adelaide delivered its fourth annual SHE Leads Conference. The ever inspiring Natasha Stott Despoja opened the day and Deborah McCulloch closed the day, 39 years since she was appointed SA's first Women's Adviser to a Premier, Don Dunstan. Break-out sessions on the Power to Change Myself, my Workplace Culture, my Society, and my Community featured speakers Taryn Brumfitt, Delfina Lanzilli, Kelly Vincent, Celeste Liddle, Angela Priestley, Van Tang, Dylan Coleman and Susan Carland. A highlight of the day was the great debate, on the topic: ‘To Earn Your Feminist Badge, You Need to Pass the Angry Test’. The 250 9 strong crowd heard from the amazing debaters Erma Ranieri, Clementine Ford, Anu Mundkur, Angela Priestley, Susan Carland and Celeste Liddle. Director of the Office for Women Fiona Mort delivered the Conference Closing and graduates of the 2015 SHE Leads Program shared an insight in to their transformational journey. SHE Leads Program 2015 facilitator Anna Lee was our exceptional MC for the day. South Australia’s premier women's leadership event is only possible with the tremendous support we receive from our amazing sponsors. We thank our sponsors, our brilliant photographer Jennie Groom, and the extraordinary women who attended the conference. We hope you walked away inspired, motivated, connected, feeling powerful, and wearing a new feminist badge!
