What a fabulous bunch of super friendly, fun , inspiring women. I joined this club as Marketing Director Coca-Cola , I then took a sabbatical and I am now back with a smaller business, WACL ladies have been there at every step to share the dramas, the challenges and the highlights with me. I look forward to many more years, nurturing young talent in our industry, offering advice to fellow WACLers and having a great time.

There is no peer group pressure. There's none of that corporate stuff going on. You just get together, it's very supportive and you have a great time.

WACL isn't just a club. It's a family of supportive, inspirational, stimulating people who are all for one and one for all. If the phone rings and it's someone from WACL, our natural and immediate response is to say "what can I do to help?". The WACL spirit is energetic, generous and ambitious for us all to be the best we can be. Best of all, it's bloody good fun.
