Executive Director’s Update Equity – essential for our sustainability journey As we look to #InspireInclusion this Friday for International Women’s Day, I cannot help but be immensely proud of the 24 women who recently graduated from ASBEC’s Women in Construction Future Leaders Pilot. These women came from many of our member organisations, spread across the breadth of roles found in Australia’s construction sector. Judging by the atmosphere in the room at the final MasterMind session and graduation ceremony, it seems that this initiative has created a great space for the women in our sector to grow into their confidence and leadership capabilities. ...
