The recipients of the Women in Super (WIS)/AGSM @ UNSW Business School scholarship program were announced at a WIS luncheon in Sydney yesterday.
AGSM had initially agreed to provide two scholarships for executive short courses, but increased this to four after being impressed with the quality of the candidates.
The scholarship is designed to support women’s leadership skills and encourage more women to pursue senior management within the industry.
The recipients of the scholarship this year were Shed Enterprises business development manager Alexandra McGuigan, State Super portfolio manager, international and emerging market equities Victoria Rati, Perpetual Investments head of marketing Heather Gyton and Unisuper employer partnerships Melinda McMullan.
“Executive level training for these WIS members will enhance their business acumen and allow them to thrive in leadership roles, as well as broaden their personal and professional networks through the AGSM community,” AGSM executive education executive director Frank Kennedy said.
