There are many outstanding women working in the finance industry and we’re very pleased to see so many Connective members being awarded as Finalists in the inaugural Women in Finance Awards hosted by Momentum Media and NAB. The entry requirements for these awards were quite rigorous, and those of you who have received a Finalist accolade should be very proud of your achievements.
Connective has been awarded Finalist for the Employer of the Year category and our GM People & Culture, Rochelle Carland has been awarded Finalist in the HR Professional of the Year category. This is also great news – at Connective, we take great pride in creating a fair working environment for all and Rochelle’s hard work to ensure we achieve this goal genuinely deserves recognition.
Please join us in congratulating the following Connective members. We look forward to seeing all the Finalists on September 21 at The Star in Sydney for the presentation night!
