Our renowned International Women’s Day Gala dinner is to be held on Thursday 7 March 2019 and we’re thrilled to announce our final panellist for the evening - The Hon. Gabrielle Williams MP.
Gabrielle was elected to represent the district of Dandenong in the Victorian Parliament in November 2014. Since December 2018, Gabrielle has served as Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, Minister for Women and the Minister for Youth Affairs.
Before entering Parliament, Gabrielle completed a Bachelor of Laws and Arts (Hons) at Monash University, going on to practise as a solicitor in a large Melbourne law firm. She has also worked as an adviser in both state and federal governments, and served as a director of a not-for-profit disability sport organisation. Immediately prior to being elected, Gabrielle worked as a project manager to the Vice Chancellor at the University of Melbourne.
Gabrielle is married with two cheeky rescue pups and loves sport, including soccer, baseball, Gaelic football and AFL. In her spare time, she likes to paint, read and explore the wonderful array of cuisines on offer in the multicultural Dandenong community.
The gala is just about sold out but you can still get a ticket, or a table, if you book now!
