The Christie Centre is delighted to be hosting a collaborative breakfast with Social Traders, showcasing women in business and Social Enterprise.

This networking event will bring together social enterprises and businesses located in Mildura and surrounds, exploring how social enterprise contributes to gender equity initiatives. Hear from our panellists who will discuss the challenges & solutions to gender equity, diverse and inclusive communities and social procurement.

Discover the advantages of social procurement opportunities as a social enterprise or, as a business how you can work to support, collaborate with or simply be aware of how to create greater levels of equity in the community through your procurement process.

A panel discussion with four well known, respected women in business from the Mildura area will address the challenges of gender and social equity, the hurdles for business and social enterprises and the joys of seeing growth, buy-in and success across these areas.
