Victorian AusIMM Women on Boards Scholarship 2022
In partnership with the Victorian Government, we continue to support and profile some of the many capable women that are contributing to the resources industry in Victoria.
Research continues to show each year that diverse boards lead to better outcomes for shareholders, consumers, employees and the community. AusIMM wants to help lead and increase this diversity in the resources industry.
In 2022 three successful scholarship recipents will go on to complete a program that will build their knowledge and capability in organisational governance, decision making and director duties. Scholarship recipents will have the opportunity to prepare for board appointments in the industry and more broadly.
