Business Women Australia Monthly Virtual Member Connect: Governance, Boards & Leadership

September is the perfect time to focus on governance, board pathways, and strategic influence. Many capable women aspire to board roles yet lack clear pathways, visibility, or confidence to step forward. This month, at our Business Women Australia Virtual Connect, we will share ideas and insights about how women can strengthen governance literacy, position themselves for board appointments, and lead with authority at the highest levels. Anchored in the Inner Development Goals dimensions of Thinking + Acting, this conversation will bring about new strategic insights, paired with practical ideas to put in place.

At BWA, our purpose is to unite and develop conscious women leaders who uplift business, community, and society. A greater representation of women in leadership and board roles, bringing wise governance to decision-making, is essential to that mission. When women step into boardrooms with clarity, credibility, and conviction, they influence systems, steward resources responsibly, and shape the future of business and community.

Whether you’re a long-time member, a newbie, or considering joining soon, this online experience is just what you need to “get out there” and get connected from the comfort of your own space.

Grab your cuppa and jump online for a casual yet valuable networking session with BWA members and friends from across the country. Hosted by warm, down-to-earth leaders from the BWA community, expect candid insights from life in the fast lane - plus growth, optimism, and genuine connection.

Did you know?

BWA is aligning our community of practice with the Inner Development Goals, nurturing the mindsets and skills that enable women to lead with purpose and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Inner Development Goals (IDGs) cultivate the inner capacities, such as self-awareness, empathy, purpose, and resilience.

This session is specifically aligned with the Inner Development Goals (Thinking & Being) and UN SDGs 3, 4 & 5. This session will inspire focus, flow, and purposeful leadership.

The IDGs are the “how” behind the SDGs - building the inner world that enables outer change. BWA provides opportunities to foster and develop this growth.
