SHE LEADS PROGRAM
One of many SHE Leads Program success stories: Kelly Graham– Sutton
Kelly’s first connection to YWCA Adelaide was in 2009 when she attended
our Board Training workshop. Kelly attributes this workshop as sparking her
interest in joining a board as one of her career goals. After attending the
2012 SHE Leads Conference Kelly declared: “I have never left an event
feeling so empowered, motivated and ready to take action in my career I honestly can’t describe the buzz in that room.” Becoming a Member of
the YWCA was the next natural progression for Kelly, who went on to be
selected as the inaugural Member Scholarship recipient on the SHE Leads
Program.
“The program was an invaluable experience. I’ve developed strong
friendships, broadened by business networks and learnt so much
about myself which has helped me to clarify and strive towards
achieving my personal and professional goals.”
Kelly was a guest speaker at our 2013 Round the World Breakfast, attended
the 2013 SHE Leads Conference, has featured in radio and print media
showcasing her YWCA involvement, and in October 2013 was one of three
women elected as a new Board Director of the YWCA Adelaide.
