BEATING THE ODDS: 100 YEARS ON
A Panel of Perspectives & Essay Competition Award Presentation
SUFFRAGE DAY: Thursday 19th September 2013
5.45pm sharp – 7pm
Victoria University of Wellington Law School: Lecture Theatre 4
The Wellington Women Lawyers’ Association in conjunction with Victoria University of Wellington is commemorating 100 years since the first woman, Harriette Vine, graduated in Law from Victoria University. Students have been invited to submit essays on the topic, “Harriette’s challenges one hundred years on: same or different?” and WWLA will be presenting two prizes of $750.
WWLA is extending an invitation to all its current members, potential members and others practising or interested in the law, to join a panel of women from across a broad range of disciplines who are Victoria University Law Alumni and who have demonstrated the ability to reach senior positions within their chosen career path.
Elisabeth McDonald, Associate Professor of Law, Mary Scholtens QC, Victoria Heine, partner at Chapman Tripp, Louise Sziranyi, managing partner at Thomas Dewar Sziranyi Letts and Patsy Reddy, professional director, consultant and barrister and solicitor*, will lead an open discussion and question/answer session for an hour on some of the particular challenges they faced and how they have beaten the odds to reach these positions of seniority. Read more about our panellists here.
The panel will begin at 5:45pm sharp at Lecture Theatre 4 at the Victoria University of Wellington Law School.
NOTE: A reminder that our Suffrage Day Panel Event, Beating the Odds: 100 years on, is next week. The venue capacity is only 85 (not 100 as previously advertised). As we have not required RSVPs you will need to arrive on time to avoid disappointment. We will also be reserving a couple of rows in the theatre exclusively for our current members. See you on the 19th, WWLA Committee
