Don't get mad, get elected. This program was life-changing for me, and I know it will be an experience I reflect on positively for years to come. I'm grateful to the women who fought to make this possible, and the speakers and supporters we engaged with along the way. I strongly encourage you to apply for the program here in Adelaide, even if you aren't planning to run.... yet ;)

And to all women with an interest in #political #leadership, do check it out! It's truly life changing. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g5i36i-D

We were deeply honoured to receive a special video message from The Hon. Julia Gillard AC to mark Pathways to Politics for Women's 10 year anniversary. As Australia’s first and so far only female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard's contribution to our anniversary celebration is a powerful reminder of the progress made and also the work still to be done in ensuring more women - from diverse political, professional and cultural backgrounds - are supported to pursue political leadership. She is one of many incredible supporters and alums from across the political spectrum who have contributed video messages to celebrate #PathwaysToPolitics 10 years of impact. Lots more to come! ✨ 📺 ICYMI, we’ve created a video featuring many of these messages as well as reflections from our founder Carol Schwartz AO, and National Co-Convenors Sarah Buckley and Dr Meredith Martin.
