Being a Franklin Women Partner is very much in keeping with the broader supportive environment that we have at the University of Canberra.
I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact on my colleagues who’ve engaged with Franklin Women’s programs, as they’ve grown further into their roles – and then paid it forward and helped to further evolve this positive culture at UC.
Having been in the health care sector over several decades I have seen firsthand the impact of unconscious bias on the career progression of women, it is amazing to see Franklin Women provide a platform and a network to support women in health to breakdown this prejudice.
As a Partner of Franklin Women for the last 2 years, we have witnessed the breaking down of barriers and have seen a growth of opportunity for women to engage in celebrating their successes.
