International Women's Day Soirée 2021
The International Women’s Day Soirée, now in its fourth year, is without a doubt one of the most memorable nights in our calendars. 23 Female Founders came together to co-host this year’s event at Hanworth House, in support of Women’s Legal Service Queensland. We were honoured to have Angela Lynch AM, CEO of Women's Legal Service Queensland, as our guest speaker on the night. We were treated to an exclusive performance by Opera Queensland, with Antoinette Halloran and Phoebe Briggs performing Puccini - Tosca’s aria ‘Vissi d’arte’ and ‘Leading Ladies’ from Lorelei . Guests also enjoyed a beautiful selection of wines from Naked Wines, as well as delicious salads and desserts from Botanica Real Food.
We are so thankful to our wonderful community for making the International Women’s Day Soirée such a memorable event, and for sharing the same passion and support for the causes close to our hearts. We can’t wait to see what next year’s event will bring!
