Chapter Calendar

For International Women's Day and beyond, let's all fully #EmbraceEquity. Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA. And it's critical to understand the difference between equity and equality. PMI Sydney is supporting International Women’s Day and local initiative “Women in Projects Australia” to discuss this year’s theme, #EmbraceEquity.

Join us as we share our answers to the question: “What does equity mean to you?” and be part of the conversation with our community.
