SUMMARY:WA International Women's Day 2027 - Leaders Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join For Purpose Leaders for a moving and inspiring morning as we celebrate International Women’s Day 2027 with a special breakfast honouring the remarkable women who have shaped Western Australia’s history — not only through leadership and activism\, but also through the often-unrecognised roles of motherhood\, caregiving\, and community building. \nGuided by this year’s theme\, Lead the Change\, we recognise that leadership is not confined to a single path or sector. Too often\, conversations around leadership happen within silos — yet the skills\, insights\, and experiences that define great leadership are transferable\, adaptable\, and enriched by diverse perspectives. This event brings together voices from across industries\, creating a space to learn from one another and lead beyond boundaries.
