reflecting on the 2024 summit

Thank you to everyone who attended the Women in STEMM Leadership Summit for supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer through your ticket purchase.

​

I am personally grateful to the Women Leaders Institute for generously donating 10% of every ticket sale towards funding world-class breast cancer research, and for everyone who purchased a raffle ticket. The money raised through ticket sales and the raffle will be used to help fund research focused on how to prevent, detect, treat and stop the progression, and recurrence of breast cancer.  

​

I walked away from the Summit completely inspired by the presentations I saw, and discussions I participated in. I hope you all took away something from the event that will help you in your careers as STEMM leaders and as mentors to the next generation of women working in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine.

​

Supporting women in STEMM is vital and NBCF is proud that over 50% of NBCF-funded researchers are women. The funding we provide has meant many female scientists have been able to forge a career in science and make remarkable progress in breast cancer research.

​

I hope to see many of you at next year’s event. Until then, I encourage you to all think about how you can bring the Summit’s theme: ‘Empowering Change to Break the Bias’ into your professional and personal lives.

‘This Summit was an opportunity for me to meet many professional women in the fields that I have dedicated my life to for over 3 decades. It was rewarding for me to listen to their experiences, understanding of the subject matters, as well as how lessons from their experiences were actioned to ensure there was a better workplace, the community in which we live and ensuring we make a better life for our family and future generations.’
