Amy Rowland, in her WISTA Capacity, writes:
Throughout 2024, WISTA Australia has emerged as a powerful advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the maritime and logistics industries. With a series of strategic initiatives, events, and collaborations, WISTA has fostered an inclusive community, addressing the underrepresentation of women and providing networking, leadership, and career development opportunities.
Through impactful actions, the organisation continues to empower women, creating new pathways for them to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated sector.

-
