Thank you so much, through the chair, for the question.
I'm very privileged to have the role I have, and that is not lost on me. It's also not lost on me that I had a lot of privilege to get here. I am a white woman. I'm cisgender. I come from a family who repeatedly told me I could do absolutely anything I put my mind to.
There are others who are not so fortunate, so we need strategies that empower them. A part of that is granting bodies that really honour the value in the work we do and fund us accordingly, so that we can have formal supports for women to continue to grow in their careers.
