Thanks to seed funding from NSW Health this year was a gift that I never thought I would have. A year where Franklin Women would be resourced to realise our potential. So much to be proud of and be thankful for - a passionate team that I get to work with each day, new peer advisory groups who guide what we do and a brilliant Advisory Board who have supported me as I navigate this crazy learning curve. The photo gallery says it all. With time, resources and support, socially-driven organisations have have great impact. A big thanks to everyone who has contributed to, taken part in, partnered with and championed what we do over the past 12 months - let's do it all again next year because the FW Mission is too important to slow down ⭐️🙏👊 #ThatsAWrap #2024 #SocialImpact #WomenInSTEMM #GenderEquality #HealthandmedicalResearch #MedicalResearch #FranklinWomen #Women
Oh yeah, let’s look back on the good times 🎉 From announcing our inaugural Advisory Board to welcoming 5 new organisations to our Partner Organisation alliance, it's been a year of growth for the FW A-Team. We also want to highlight some of the incredible things we've achieved with our Franklin Women community – like awarding 11 Carer’s Scholarships, launching our Members Connect meetups and adding a massive 43,000 words of notability for women and gender diverse people in STEMM on Wikipedia. A huge THANK YOU to all our incredible members, allies, supporters and partners who make this community so special and impactful. We feel so fortunate to do this work with all of you (if you have a favourite Franklin Women moment of 2024, we’d love to hear it, let us know in the comments 🙏👇) Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season — try to take a moment to breathe, enjoy the little things and celebrate all you've accomplished this year 🌟 👊 #FranklinWomen #WomenInSTEMM #WomenInHealth #WomenInResearch #Community #Connection #Impact Dr Melina Georgousakis Cara Bevington Sarah Frost Kristen V.
