L-R Professor Steve Chapman CBE, Professor Cobie Rudd, Professor Braden Hill, Dianah Worman OBE and Marcia Brownley, 5 March 2019
International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world on the 8th of March and is a day to both celebrate the incredible achievements of women and acknowledge the work that still lies ahead in achieving gender parity. The 2019 global campaign theme is #balanceforbetter and ECU’s 11th annual Edith Cowan Memorial Lecture on 5 March featured a gender-balanced ‘two on two’ panel which made for an insightful discussion at the Pines on the Joondalup campus. Proceedings commenced with a Welcome to Country by Marcia Browley.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Steve Chapman CBE and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Strategic Partnerships), Professor Cobie Rudd posed a series of hard-hitting questions on ‘getting the balance right’ between economic sustainability and equity initiatives with two leading equity specialists:
The well-attended event was highly interactive with attendees able to directly ask questions of the panel throughout the discussions. A series of themes where explored including the role that leaders play as models in promoting work life balance to their employees and the importance of accessing creativity and talent through different perspectives to drive competitive business outcomes.
ECU was one of the first 11 universities in Australia to receive a Bronze Athena SWAN Award in December 2018. The Vice-Chancellor noted the international success of Athena SWAN and the importance of having a gender equality focus in driving business success and work life satisfaction for both men and women.
