Written by Digna Nichols | Feb 22, 2022 8:37:24 AM

Now in its fifth year, the Melbourne Water and AWA VIC branch partnership will once again host a FREE  International Womens Day event.

A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.

Be part of our audience and listen to our panelists sharing their stories, engage in conversation and ask questions of your own using the zoom functionality.

We're very excited to have Dr Helen Szoke and Dr Nerina Di Lorenzo as our panelists.

Nerina is the Managing Director of Melbourne Water. She leads the organisation in delivering its vision of enhancing life and liveability and providing essential water, sewerage, drainage and waterway services for the greater Melbourne Region.
