WHAT? Another Zoom meeting? And it’s on Saturday? And it’s all-day?
Well, yes. And here’s three reasons why, despite Zoom fatigue, you should log on and participate in what will be a fantastic conference organised by women, about women and open to all.
First, as previous articles in this paper have reported, the conference will be addressed by a galaxy of national and international women speakers, all of whom will make a matchless contribution from which we can all learn.
