Female Administrators Network
Currently there are few, if any, formalised networking opportunities available for female administrators to come together and share information and experiences, so this fundamental initiative aims to deliver professional development and networking opportunities for females who work for vicsport member organisations.
Aimed to assist women working in sport to establish links with other administrators in the sector, each session will address an issue/topic of interest for female administrators in an interactive workshop environment with informal networking opportunities available at the conclusion of each session.
For more information on how to become involve in this fantastic network contact Amber Bleechmore on 03 9926 1373 or email amberb@vicsport.asn.au
