Building Our Leadership Development (BOLD) program

What is BOLD?

 In 2017, the IEU-QNT Equity Committee launched its Women and Leadership, Building Our Leadership Development (BOLD) program to help address the challenges facing women at work.

As a union comprised of a majority of women members, IEU-QNT is passionate about empowering women at work and in the broader community.

When they join together in their union, women are a powerful voice for change.

Within the BOLD Program, women members are encouraged to become active in their union by networking with colleague members, attending professional development, connecting online and driving what their leadership development will look like.

BOLD was launched at an inaugural conference in Canberra in 2017, which united 100 women from IEU branches across Australia, and has continued to grow.

How to get involved

Our union regularly provides BOLD professional development and networking opportunities. IEU-QNT women members will receive invitations by email. Current events and training opportunities can also be viewed via MyIEU.

The best way to stay in touch with all things BOLD is to join the private Facebook Group, which connects IEU women members from across the country. Join now via the link below.
