This year’s WA Women’s Hall of Fame inductees were honoured on International Women’s Day with a special cocktail party in the CBD.

Hosted by last year’s Hall of Fame inductee Dr Anh Nguyen, the official opening took place at Brookfield Place on St Georges Terrace.

For more than a decade, the organisation — which initially began as an event to honour local female trailblazers — has highlighted the tremendous and sometimes pioneering efforts of women by adding them to the roll of honour as part of International Women’s Day.

Now 16 more have been added to the list including award-winning conductor Jessica Gethin; respected elder, teacher, international blues and gospel singer-songwriter Kankawa Nagarra; Dress for Success WA co-founder, Racheal Hain; environmental engineer Emeritus Professor Carolyn Oldham; the deputy chair of the WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Esme Bowen; businesswoman/changemaker, Dr Sandy Chong and reading expert Lorraine Hammond.
