Women of Australian Distilling Launch

We invite you to join us for the Women of Australian Distilling Launch aboard MV Kokomo.

We would love for you to join us to celebrate the launch of Women of Australian Distilling following our first official board meeting that morning.

The afternoon will entail sailing through the harbour whilst enjoying some light lunch and cocktails. It is an opportunity for open discussion about how we can assist women in the distilling industry to excel in their roles and collaborate with other like-minded individuals.

About

Women of Australian Distilling is a collective to promote, encourage and support women and gender diverse people within the Australian Craft Distilling industry. Collaborating with the industry's peak associations and organisations. Our company aims to support career development for women in the field of distilling, ambassadorship, marketing, administration, management, cellar door operations and more… A hub for female led trade and consumer events, courses, networking, PR, mentoring and personal development.

Kathleen  Davies's reason for founding this movement back in 2014 was based on her  own personal experiences during the beginning of her liquor industry  career in the 1990's. During this time there was next to no female  representation in middle and senior management positions within the male  dominated companies that Kathleen worked for. There was no one to shine  a light on women and their achievements.

​

Fast  forward to today Kathleen still sees the opportunity for women to excel  and have the confidence to strive for leadership roles, fight for equal  opportunity and genuinely build their careers within the Australian  Distilling Industry.
