The Sydney, Australia mentoring initiative marked our fourth trip to the Asia Pacific region, and our 13th overall, convening women leaders from the U.S., Fiji, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Samoa, Vietnam, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, for a week of one-on-one mentoring sessions and strategic workshops focused on building organizational management, financial acumen and leadership skills. The trip coincided with the one year anniversary of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, a series of ambitious targets to end extreme poverty and tackle climate change by 2030. The week’s theme was “Empowering Women Leaders to Advance Sustainable Development,” underscoring the critical role that women can play in moving their nations forward.
