Events by QRRRWN
Connecting our members is central to QRRRWN’s mission. A key way we try to do this is through hosting and collaboration on events where people meet online & face-to-face.
In 2020 we have established a collaboration with Zonta Club and Zonta E-Club Queensland to bring you two events for International Women’s Day. We have also collaborated with James Cook University in Townsville for an International Women’s Day morning tea. All events have inspirational keynote speakers.
Hosting a Local Event
If you are interested in hosting a local event, please get in touch with Megan Sidebottom (previously Kuhn) at eso@qrrrwn.org.au. We have the ability to support some of the marketing, social media and collaboration required. A best approach is to collaborate locally and work together and seek to include QRRRWN in activities you know of locally.
Getting Involved in Events
Other ways to support QRRRWN events is to become involved in those already on our program. If you would like to join our volunteering program or are interested in specific events, email eso@qrrrwn.org.au.
