Annual Dinner 2011
The 2011 Annual Dinner took place on Thursday 1 September at the Westin Hotel, Sydney. The evening was a great success with over 780 CEW members and guests attending.
Our Guest Speaker, Amanda Wilson, Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald gave a wonderful and entertaining speech discussing her career in the media, since starting as a copy girl in Melbourne. In addition, she showed a lovely collection of historical photos highlighting inspirational Australian women who ‘gave it a go’ and achieved many ‘firsts’ for women. A link to Amanda’s speech will be attached shortly.
The raffle proved to be a great success on the night, with prizes totalling $80,000. CEW raised over $54,000 to support the scholarship program in 2012, which aims to assist women in furthering their careers, enabling more women leaders.
