During September, FCIA hosted their first two Females in Flooring High Tea’s in Victoria and New South Wales.
This group was formed to celebrate and empower women within the flooring industry. This gathering offered a unique opportunity for women of the industry to network, share experiences, and discuss the evolving landscape of the industry, all in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.
One of the primary goals of the Females in Flooring group is to foster connections between women at different stages in their careers. From newcomers to seasoned professionals, attendees have the chance to meet, share stories, and support each other’s growth. We would like this group to provide a platform to discuss both the challenges and successes experienced by women in the industry, promoting a sense of community and solidarity.
We would love future events to include guest speakers or panel discussions, where successful women in flooring share their insights, career journeys, and advice. These conversations can be inspiring and motivating, helping attendees to envision new possibilities for their own professional paths. Topics might include career development, leadership, work-life balance, and strategies for thriving in a traditionally male-dominated field.
I would like to thank everyone who attended both high teas which I hope serves as a reminder that together, women can drive positive change within this industry.
If you have any ideas for future events or speakers, please email me fwischnewski@fcia.org.au
Thank you to those who contributed to the day:
