A Power Trip with A Difference

Women in Banking and Finance CEO, Stephanie Girard recently attended Country to Canberra 's jam-packed event, the Power Trip, at the Rydges hotel in Surry Hills, Sydney.

"I was honoured to attend this event. It's important we recognise and work together to combat the barriers that young women living in rural communities face. WiBF is proud to support the empowerment of young rural women to reach their leadership potential," Stephanie said.

The Power Trip is the ultimate prize for winners of Country to Canberra 's Leadership Competition. These winners were chosen from hundreds of national entries after submitting their ideas about how we can empower women and non-binary people in rural communities.

The Trip connects these rural and remote trailblazers with powerful politicians, CEOs, advocates, and entrepreneurs, aiming to empower them to reach their leadership potential through workshops, networking events, and media exposure.

"We had a fantastic time in Sydney, and we can't wait to do it again in Adelaide!" - Han Worsley , Canberra to Country, Outgoing CEO.
