AHA NEWCASTLE HUNTER
WOMEN'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Supporting women in hospitality will be a focus of AHA Newcastle Hunter this year, with the launch of an inaugural scholarship designed to shine a spotlight on women’s careers in hospitality and offer a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills.
The AHA Newcastle Hunter Women’s Scholarship, which will be open to staff currently employed in AHA NSW Newcastle-Hunter member venues, is unique within the industry and has been designed with a focus on development using a balance of coaching, mentoring and thinking preference profiling using the HBDI (Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument) tool.
The program will be awarded to three recipients and run for six months led by former Solotel CEO and industry powerhouse Justine Baker and author, founder, international business leader and strategy consultant Gill McLaren.
Benefits of the scholarship include 1:1 coaching, the creation of industry support networks, and developing confidence in dealing with senior industry leaders, hoteliers, and industry associates.
