A nod to conveyancing women who ‘give’

As International Women’s Day approaches in March, The Australian Conveyancer calls on the industry to recognise the contribution peers have made.

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day acknowledges and celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It will be recognised on Sunday, March 8, under a banner theme: Give to Gain.

As the conveyancing sector is largely powered by women, The Australian Conveyancer proudly aligns itself with these ideals and has called on the industry to nominate colleagues and peers they believe embody generosity of spirit, sharing knowledge, mentoring and collaboration.

It will honour a select group of nine women during events on March 3 and 4.
