CANCELLED: Futures with Hope: Ladies Long Table Lunch

Pull up a seat at the table.

The Futures with Hope Ladies Long Table Lunch is an opportunity for women across business, community, not-for-profits and family life to come together for connection, encouragement and meaningful conversation.

Hear from local guest speaker, Cathryn Cocker, who will share insights on the importance of mentoring, why it matters, how it shapes potential and how each of us can play a role in strengthening connection and quality of life across Tasmania, particularly for young people.

(And for the gents… if you’re really keen, you’re more than welcome to join us too.)
