NSW Manufacturing Week: Women standing tall in a changing world
As part of NSW Manufacturing Week, a lunch is being held that will feature talks by inspirational women leading the way in the manufacturing industry and pursuing new opportunities in creative thinking, management and technical manufacturing skills.
The annual Women in Manufacturing Lunch is a highlight event of NSW Manufacturing Week 2010. This year's event will explore the role of women in manufacturing today and into the future.
Since the inaugural Women in Manufacturing Lunch in 2005, the sector has changed significantly. Not only have we witnessed traditional practices replaced by new high technology and advanced manufacturing, we have also seen change on the factory floor.
Women today have a stronger presence in managerial and operational roles. With a natural ability for team building, problem solving, negotiation and communication, women thrive in business. This extends to the manufacturing industry and consequently contributes to a more competitive manufacturing sector in NSW.
Join us to hear from exceptional women who lead, influence and contribute to the ever-changing manufacturing industry. RNC Global Projects Managing Director, Diane Dromgold will speak about her experiences in opening up new opportunities, employing innovative concepts and the current and future direction of the industry from her viewpoint.
Carla Geddes from Practicon and Sarah Adams from Business Capability Solutions will also provide an update on the Women in Manufacturing Business Cluster initiative to encourage and support women in this sector.
Connect with like-minded women owners and executives in manufacturing. Meet and learn from other industry professionals, including leading consultants, academics and practitioners.
This event will be held 5 May 2010 at Mount Druitt TAFE, Mount Druitt.
Places are strictly limited, priority will be given to those working in or have a strong connection with the manufacturing sector.
