Women's Plumbing Alliance
The Women's Plumbing Alliance aims to recognise, connect and empower all women in the plumbing and gas industry. It was established for both women working behind the scenes and also on the tools, to assist them in developing an important and supportive community and promote further networking as the key decision makers of the industry.
The Women’s Plumbing Alliance is built around three core concepts:
- Recognise - Rewarding and acknowledging the efforts of women who are creating opportunities to evolve the plumbing and gas industry
- Connect - Encouraging women to build valuable support networks and discover new business ideas and models through peer collaboration
- Empower - Providing the tools and information required for women to grow and prosper their skills, business and the industry as a whole
If you would like to be part of the Women's Plumbing Alliance, please contact MPAQ at membership@mpaq.com.au.
