International Women’s Day
Pymble Ladies’ College is proud to partner with the Australian Financial Review for the second edition of our International Women’s Day magazine for business leaders.
Our students, educators and alumni and other notable Australian women have contributed to this magazine to spark conversations around the IWD theme for this year: Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.
This publication aligns perfectly with our school’s strategic plan, Watch Us Change the World, by showcasing the phenomenal progress made by female leaders and trailblazers across a range of businesses, professions and industries.
It also provides a platform to launch the second phase of our Chairs for Change, a program that encourages corporations to join us in removing gender bias from the title of the highest office in corporate Australia by replacing the term chairman with chair, Working closely with Women On Boards, we hope Chairs for Change will achieve its goal of deepening the talent pool of women in leadership and making gender redundant in business, once and for all.

Language matters and Chairs for Change aims to do one simple thing: remove gender bias from the title of the highest office in corporate Australia – Chair, not Chairman.
