Liz Mackinlay and Natascha Wernick had a fantastic experience at last week's Advancing Equity Conference. The speakers brought unique and exciting perspectives, sparking new ideas on the future of equity in business practices.
It was inspiring to hear Dr. Michael McAfee and Dr Norman Swan challenge attendees on how to integrate equity into both our organisations and the work we do.
On Friday, Liz spoke on a panel discussing "Equity in Governance." She posed the question: "How can we collaborate at a governance level, ensuring we still manage risk, protect purpose, and create space for the community?"
Liz emphasised, "We need to flip governance from being all about compliance and checking boxes to focus on achieving our purpose and who are the people apart of it. Once we put that first, we can bring governance around that."
Congratulations to CCQ - Country to Coast QLD for hosting the Equity Co-Lab, and to Julie Sturgess and Olivia Naughtin for this great innovation. Thank you to fellow panellists Sarah Callaghan, Thalep Ahmat, and Marion Wands.
We're excited to participate in the emerging community of practice around equity.
