Excitement builds for inaugural women symposium

Everything is nearly ready for next week’s Governance and Leadership Women Symposium, to be held over three days in Apia, Samoa.

Around 100 delegates and speakers from across the Pacific Islands will gather for what is a first-of-its-kind event for PASAI. This meeting will engage an illustrious panel of local and international speakers who will share their experiences and insights to enhance the capacity and capability of current and emerging female leaders.

While slightly more than half of staff who work at government audit offices in the Pacific are women, their representation among those who hold managerial and leadership positions rapidly dwindles with increasing levels of seniority.

Samoa, rich in examples of women who have excelled in leadership positions across business and government, provides an ideal setting to inspire increasing standards of gender equality and inclusiveness.

The programme is designed to enable inclusive engagement and will provide a great opportunity to network with delegates, speakers and Samoan women in leadership.

By unlocking the full potential of our workforces, we can more quickly achieve our goal of good governance and accountability within the public sector.

PASAI is privileged to host this symposium in collaboration with the Bank South Pacific (BSP) Samoa and TAUTAI Governance for Economic Growth.
