<strong>Tasmania</strong> boasts not only some of Australia’s most picturesque natural<br />
beauty and treasured heritage, but also its most <strong>in</strong>novative bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />

future women leaders of this thriv<strong>in</strong>g and vibrant market, and the future<br />

still prevalent and work needs to be done to ensure <strong>Tasmania</strong>’s aspir<strong>in</strong>g<br />
professional women are equipped with necessary skills and opportunity<br />
to take up the mantle of leadership and <strong>in</strong>novation.<br />
