Dr. Judith Slocombe - a Woman Leading the Future
One of our challenges as women leaders is finding the role models we need to grow and advance our careers. They are certainly out there, but it's getting close to them that is not always possible. So when I get the opportunity to listen to an outstanding woman leader I seize it.
During the last week I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Judith Slocombe speak at a Business and Professional Women's dinner in Geelong. She is such an inspiring and amazing person and I want to share some of her story with you.
She is presently the CEO of the not for profit Alannah and Madeline Foundation. This foundation was set up by the father of these two children who were killed, along with their mother, in the Port Arthur Massacre. It's an organisation which works with children who have been subjected to violence and trauma, especially directed towards keeping children safe.
She also holds several directorships, including Open Universities Australia, Agriculture Victoria Services, South East Water Limited, and is Chairman of the Lort Smith Animal Hospital.
It's where she has been and what she's done in the past that makes her story so valuable.
