About this Event
In celebration of International Women’s Day, Western Sydney Tech Innovators and Parramatta Library warmly invite you to an evening of conversation, insight, and connection exploring this year’s theme: Give to Gain.
Give to Gain asks us to reflect on how generosity — of time, leadership, capital, ideas, and care — can create meaningful impact not only for others, but for ourselves, our organisations, and our communities.
This panel brings together women leaders from the innovation community, local government, not-for-profit sector and investment, each with a unique perspective on leadership, systems change, and building long-term value through contribution.
Panel speakers:
Shuoyan Zhu — Head of Partnerships, Western Sydney Tech Innovators & Western Sydney Startup Hub Manager (Moderator)
Cr Hayley French — Councillor, City of Parramatta
Jess Wilson — CEO, Good Things Australia
Danielle Haj-Moussa — Investment Manager, Main Sequence
Together, the panel will explore:
- What giving looks like at different stages of leadership
- How values-led decision-making shapes long-term impact
- The trade-offs, risks, and returns of contribution
- How women can lead with generosity without burnout
- What we gain personally and collectively when we invest in others
This event is designed to be thought-provoking, practical, and human, welcoming founders, professionals, students, community leaders, and anyone interested in leadership, impact, and inclusive futures.
