In a further demonstration of the high priority AGSM places on promoting and developing the leadership skills of women in Australian business, the school was the proud educational partner of the 2015 Leadership Agenda Women in Leadership Awards. The awards, held in Sydney this week, included an impressive guest list of emerging and more experienced business leaders. None more notable than former Prime Minister, the Hon Julia Gillard who spoke at the event about her time in the top job. Gillard spoke of her passion to make education accessible to every child in the world. One of her key messages was that providing education to young girls leads to long term and sustainable social and economic change.
