1 周This?panel of aviation leaders, gathered on stage at Novotel Melbourne Airport for International Women's Day demonstrate the diversity of roles women?already hold in aviation.? From refuelling planes to keeping airspace safe these accomplished managers and directors are also wonderful humans. By sharing their professional trajectories, challenges and victories they help other women "back themselves".? Kudos to Lorie Argus, Melbourne Airport, Katherine Graczyk, Sherryn Woods and Andrew Lund for bringing these women together on stage and championing equality. Yep, diversity does matter - ethically and economically.?? Thank you for inviting me to MC and facilitate?such an uplifting discussion. #AccelerateAction?
