ABOUT WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP AUSTRALIA Developing Australia s Female Leaders Women and Leadership Australia (WLA) is a national initiative that encourages the presence of women in business and community leadership roles. WLA believes that women represent an enormously under-utilised national resource, and by supporting a greater percentage of talented women to step up into leadership positions, tremendous cultural and economic benefits will follow. WLA offers an extensive range of professional development programs, advisory services, networking channels and on-going research. Since 2003, over 50,000 women have participated, making WLA the largest gender-focused leadership initiative in Australia. With over ten years experience in developing Australia s female leaders, WLA is ideally positioned to respond to the ever changing needs of the contemporary female employee. Each year, thousands of women continue to benefit, ensuring the initiative is widely accepted by business leaders as critical to the development of Australian leadership. Personal journeys and experiences are invaluable for executive level development. Re-focused, re-energised, inspired. Great variety of speakers. www.wla.edu.au
