Out and About in August
From presenting at the WIDAC ‘Our Leaders of Tomorrow’ online event to attending a Boardroom Lunch with Minister Cameron Dick, Bluebird has had an exciting month!
Women In Design And Construction (WIDAC)
In August Rachel Madgwick, Bluebird’s Assistant Development Manager, presented at WIDAC’s Our Leaders of Tomorrow online event with the topic of discussion ‘A Day in the Life’. This event was in collaboration with Inspiring the Future Australia.
Rachel spoke to high school students around the country about her career so far and experiences in the construction industry and inspired the audience to consider a career in property.
Boardroom Lunch with Treasurer and Minister for Investment
At the start of August we attended the Boardroom lunch with Minister Cameron Dick, Treasurer and Minister for Investment. The lunch was held at the Alchemy Restaurant along the Brisbane River and was organised by UDIA QLD. Many items were discussed but it was particularly great to hear about the State Government’s plans for the Olympic Games and the upcoming Build to Rent Second Pilot Project.
Development Series 2021
The Planning Institute Australia - Women In Planning held an online event earlier in August. The series was delivered in three parts, held online over lunch, and was presented by an expert panel. Our very own Co-Founder Riye presented in Part One of the series and touched on many topics including developing your professional communication, leadership and negotiation skills. This was a great event held by the Queensland Women in Planning Network.
