Resourceful Women
Wednesday, 10 November 2010
With the ever-growing focus on the mining and resources industry in this State, LunchBox List, Perth's premier network for business and career women, will present three outstanding women who will share how they push the boundaries and have created booming careers in mining, geology and engineering. A real showcase of the opportunities for women in this diverse sector with three inspiring stories we are sure you will want to hear! Women in Mining are supporting this event and we encourage you to get a group together from work, enjoy a gourmet lunchbox, networking and hear from:
- Argyle Diamond Mines General Manager Production, Maryanne Kelly.
From a single mother earning a living as a barmaid, to now General Manager Production at Rio Tinto - owned Argyle Diamond Mines and a multi-award winning business woman. With previous roles in both corporate and remote Australia, Maryanne is responsible for 400 employees and ensuring equal opportunity for indigenous employment.
- SRK Consulting Principal Consultant Geology, Deborah Lord.
An advocate for part-time working arrangements, Deb Lord is a shining example of how a professional can balance her own career development while juggling family commitments.
