International Women's Day

Celebrating local contributions


Article heading image for International Women's Day

Today is International Women`s Day. 

The theme - #PressforProgress 

According to the IWD Website - "there has never been a more important time to keep motivated and #PressforProgress. And with global activism for women's equality fuelled by movements like #MeToo#TimesUp and more - there is a strong global momentum striving for gender parity"

We have several prominent wonderful women in the Great Southern. I was lucky enough to catch up with three women who make contributions to the local community in various industries.

 

Erica McGee - Content Director Perth's Mix 94.5 

Erica is head of programming at our sister Mix 94.5, Perth's Number 1 radio station. Erica has moved through the ranks over the years from working as news journalist and show producer to overseeing the programming of a successful metropolitan radio station. She will be presenting at the Albany Women's Leadership Forum on the 23rd of March.  Erica makes a great contribution to radio in Western Australia through the Southern Cross Austereo network by leading talented team who provide programming for our Triple M Network including our local station in Albany.
