Mentoring next generation on IWD

Mosman resident and charity founder Vicki Condon AM shared insights at Mosman Council’s International Women’s Day breakfast on building a resilient and confident generation of young people to help inspire inclusion. 

Ms Condon was special guest at the event, attended by more than 100 community members and local school students on 8 March at Mosman Art Gallery. 

In conversation with Mosman Mayor Carolyn Corrigan, Ms Condon spoke about her work as founder and chief executive officer of Raise Foundation.
