Resource Industry Network (RIN) is proud to have hosted an impactful business lunch celebrating inclusivity and gender equity in the workplace. This year’s theme, "Accelerate Action," emphasised the urgent need to dismantle the systemic barriers and biases that women still face in professional environments.
The event featured Olympic Gold Medallist Kerri Pottharst, whose decades of expertise in goal achievement and competition provided invaluable insights. As one of the world’s top volleyball players, Ms Pottharst has represented Australia for more than 20 years and is now a renowned speaker, coach, and author.
The panel discussion was equally enlightening, with Taz Zammit, a leading Australian social media influencer and advocate for inclusivity, offering her perspective on the creator economy.
Dean Kirkwood, General Manager at RIN, highlighted how an inclusive workforce drives innovation, safety, and productivity.
“Our International Women’s Day (IWD) business lunch has sold out for five consecutive years because it brings together Queensland professionals who are committed to championing gender equality,” said Mr Kirkwood.
This event has become a key gathering for professionals of all genders who are dedicated to advancing women’s roles in the workplace.
With the 2025 event sold out, RIN encourages early registration for the 2026 IWD lunch.
