Elevating Women's Voices: Opening Event

Hear how you can raise your voice and have your ideas resound when speaking with your team members and meeting with clients and gain skills and confidence in public speaking. Gain insights from Marianne Perkovic, an experienced leader in financial services and advocate for diversity and inclusion, who is also driving sustainable transformation. Marianne Perkovic is co-author of Pivotal Career Moments.

This event will launch the 2024 Elevating Women’s Voices program (EWV), which is jointly organised by 100 Women in Finance and the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA). EWV is a communications course designed to train, mentor and promote women as speakers in multiple settings in order to achieve greater gender diversity, equity and inclusion across the financial services industry.

Graduates of last year’s inaugural program will lead the evening’s program with Arabella MacPherson, who is directing EWV again this year.
