Margaret Guilfoyle Network
About the Network
The Margaret Guilfoyle Network brings together like-minded women from around Australia to offer them a unique professional network to learn, engage and connect.
Working alongside the Liberal Party, and other Liberal women’s groups and networks, the Margaret Guilfoyle Network is uniquely placed to upskill its subscribers, provide exclusive opportunities for professional connections and development, and give them introductions to other like-minded Liberal women.
Named in honour of Dame Margaret Guilfoyle, the first female Cabinet Minister with a portfolio in the Federal Government, our network embodies her pioneering spirit and commitment to service.
Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to unite and elevate Liberal women from all corners of Australia, creating a formidable network of skills, experiences, and aspirations and opportunities.
By being a part of the Margaret Guilfoyle Network, you can help to hone your own skills, share your experiences and ideas, engage in unique learning opportunities, or help to mentor the next generation of future Liberal leaders.
During our founding year, we will provide new professional development sessions, scholarship opportunities and subscriber-only events around Australia.
Engagement in the political sphere can be so rewarding both professionally and personally. The Margaret Guilfoyle Network provides Liberal minded women a place where they can both contribute to the political debate and benefit from association with others who are involved directly and indirectly.
