Brisbane Business Chicks Lunch with Quentin Bryce

“For a very long time now I’ve been saying to young women, 'you can have it all, but not all at the same time.'” – Dame Quentin Bryce

Dame Quentin Bryce knew she wanted to change the world when she was 16. She went on to work as an academic, a lawyer, a community and human rights advocate, a senior public officer, a university college principal, and a vice-regal representative in Queensland and Australia.

An extraordinary role model, and Australia’s first female Governor General, Quentin Bryce hand wrote more than fifty letters each week to the people she met and connected with during her role as Governor General. The letters she sent and received are now being published in a book called Dear Quentin and every Premium member attending the event will be gifted at copy and the opportunity to have it signed by Quentin.

At Business Chicks, we love to bring women to the stage who lift us up and allow us to believe we can all make a difference.

We hope you’ll join us as we welcome Dame Quentin Bryce to the Business Chicks Stage at Hilton, Brisbane – this is not to be missed!

Tickets are $129 for Premium members (includes book), $149 for subscribers, and $1,290 for a table of ten.

Please book here.
