Our Guest Speaker at Friday’s meeting was Wendy Ashley-Cooper, the President of Graduate Women Qld – Sunshine Coast, a dynamic organization for women graduates on the Sunshine Coast who meet for friendship & fellowship, & also provide financial support for women & girls furthering their education.
Having formed in 1991, GWQ-SC is the fastest growing & largest branch in Qld with around 80 members, & has awarded $130,000 in bursaries since its inception.
Although women’s education has improved dramatically over the years, the statistics presented by Wendy revealed that there is still a long way to go globally. Organizations such as GWQ-SC continue to work towards supporting women in their educational endeavors.
Our club is honored to have speakers of Wendy’s caliber at our meetings & we appreciate the opportunity to discover more about our locals, & local organizations, & how they are making a difference.
