Wednesday Networking is a platform for members and non-members to meet different people, be exposed to new ideas and thoughts, develop new relationships and foster existing contacts.

Helping Your Business to Engage with the World

In this role Sally leads the Department’s engagement with its diverse stakeholders in Western Australia, including government, business, academia and the community.

Sally has served overseas with the Department in Geneva (United Nations), Paris, West Africa and most recently in Ankara, as Deputy Head of Mission at the Australian Embassy in Turkey.
