Brief Introduction

The South Australian Country Women’s Association has been serving the community since 1929. We are not for profit, non party political and non sectarian. The organisation is made up of volunteers who work to promote the welfare and conditions of life for women and children, of all ages, whether in the city or country.

Business Contents

Our slogan is ‘Sharing and Caring with Action’. Sharing involves service and the giving of time, talents, efforts and finance. What is given in service is the road to what is gained personally. Caring involves friendship, tolerance and understanding of others. The provision of welfare is important to us and by working together much can be achieved. Social issues need constant monitoring and lobbying at local, state and federal levels. We also believe that education is continuous, heritage skills and history are worth preserving and leisure activities enhance the quality of life.

Brief Introduction

For over fourteen years, Women & Leadership Australia has been developing female leaders and supporting the increased presence of women in business and community leadership roles. Based on a simple truth, that women represent an enormously under-utilised national resource, we believe that supporting a greater percentage of women to step up into leadership positions enables tremendous cultural and economic benefits.

Business Contents

The WLA initiative comprises a range of professional development programs, advisory services, networking channels, and on-going research. Since our inaugural forum in 2003, over 50,000 women have participated, making WLA the largest gender-focused leadership initiative in Australia. With so much experience in developing women, we are ideally positioned to respond to the ever changing needs of contemporary female leaders and their organisations. Each year, employers across all sectors and industries choose to partner with us to develop the skills and confidence of their female leaders and help provide exciting new career opportunities.
