WA International Women's Day 2027 - Leaders Breakfast
2027-03-05 06:30 - 10:00 | Fraser’s Kings Park, 60 Fraser Avenue, Perth, WA, 6005, Australia
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.
Guided 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.
