Meet Dr. Debbie Saunders, Co-Founder & CEO of NatureHelm, at YWCA Canberra’s Flagship Leadership Event

About the Conference

The She Leads Conference is YWCA Canberra’s flagship leadership event. Now in its 12th year, this full-day event brings together women and non-binary leaders to develop leadership journeys, share experiences, and explore the impacts of gender at home, in the community, and in the workplace.

This Year’s Theme: FORGE

In a world demanding resilience, it’s women who rise to the challenge, shaping new paths by uprooting old systems and building futures grounded in strength and purpose. FORGE embodies the tenacity and mettle of leaders who drive change and carve their own paths in defiance of convention. Don’t wait for change—create it.

Featured Speaker: Dr. Debbie Saunders
