Event almost sold out

By Jonathon Howard

A SPECIAL joint International Women’s Day

Lunch on Friday, March 3 organised by both Tropical Fruit World (TFW) and Sourdough Business Women is almost sold out.

The event will explore this year’s theme ‘Cracking the Code: Innovation for a gender-equal future’.

This year’s event will be the inaugural for the Tweed, with plans to bring thought-provoking speakers each year to inspire the Tweed business community.

TFW event manager Teri Power said she wanted to encourage residents to attend.

“‘Cracking the Code’ highlights the role that bold, transformative ideas, inclusive technologies, and accessible education can play in combatting discrimination and the marginalisation of women globally,” she said.

“A delicious two-course lunch will be served by Fins Plantation House, guests will enjoy an intimate and inspirational afternoon surrounded by leaders and changemakers.”

The big treat is the guest speakers which include award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer AM, and principal of TFW, Judy Brinsmead AM.

“We also have an exceptional panel of local empowering and inspiring women representing the STEM industry, excelling in traditional male-oriented fields and paving the way for future female leaders,” Teri said.

“This event is not to be missed, because a gender-equal future is something we can all get behind!”
