Dear editor,
Women from across rural, regional and remote NSW can register now for the revamped 30th annual Rural Women’s Gathering. The milestone event was moved from August to the weekend of the 25 and 26 November 2023 to take advantage of the warmer weather, as it returns to the home of the first Gathering in Orange.
The theme of this year’s Gathering is “30 years, still going strong and getting stronger”, and provides rural women with support, information and skills to address the myriad of challenges they face living in a rural location in Australia.
The new-look event is set to bring women together to hear from and connect with inspirational women in sport, health and business. It is also a valuable opportunity for women to share their insights and ideas for their communities with key decision makers in the NSW Government.
Opening the event will be NSW Minister for Women Jodie Harrison. Keynote speakers include Australian rugby union player Grace Hamilton and ABC News rural reporter Sarah Hawke, who both hail from Orange. Joining them is founder of The Rural Naturopath, Hayley Dawson.
The Gatherings are an annual state-wide community-run event and includes a diverse program of speakers, display stands, workshops, networking and a gala dinner.
The event is hosted by Australian National Field Days and organised by a committee of volunteers, with support from the NSW Government’s Rural Women’s Network. Tickets are $80 and limited, so register now at: nswwomensgathering.com.au
