Get real, no-fluff answers from women who have stepped up before.
– How much time does it really take?
– What does the day-to-day look like?
– How do you run a campaign?
– How can we support one another?

Join ALGWA Tas Acting President, Councillor Melinda Reed and member Deputy Mayor Kristi Chapple for an informal hour answering your questions and supporting one another to step up, put our names forward and help shape Tassie’s future.
