Dear Editor,
We were incredibly proud to have launched the 2025 Women Economic Forum in Shepparton, and a first for regional Victoria.
It was a unique opportunity to showcase the region on the world stage and to share our extraordinary success, and the opportunities in regional Victoria.
It was inspiring to see local leaders, businesses and community members participate in the forum, and for women in our community to have the opportunity to attend such a fantastic event.
We heard from keynote speakers, informative panels and many thought-provoking presentations and discussions.
Many of the women who attended the launch in Shepparton, and the following three days in Melbourne, said that Shepparton had been a highlight of the event.
Events like this reaffirm the region’s position as being diverse and innovative, and having a global audience was an incredible opportunity.
Warm Regards,
Kim O’Keeffe MP
Member for Shepparton District
