Joining forces back in March to launch an exciting opportunity for women working in the Australian music industry, White Sky and One of One are THRILLED to announce the inaugural recipients of the Governance Scholarship.
Yeah, you read that right – recipients plural! We were so overwhelmed with the amount and quality of responses that our judging panel decided to grant TWO winners for the program in 2019.
They are …. *drum roll please*….
EMILY ULMAN & ANNE WIBERG
Huge congratulations to Emily and Anne!!
Emily and Anne will be attending a board governance training program tailored specifically for women. This initiative will help ensure that more women have the necessary governance training and opportunities to develop their management and leadership skills, and will also produce a flow-on effect, as more women in leadership and on boards will mean more opportunities for diversity, healthier debate, role modes and mentors for emerging people to connect with and learn from. In addition to this training, they will also both receive membership to the Australian Company Institute of Directors for 12 months.
“One of One are thrilled to have partnered with White Sky to offer this annual scholarship for women and non-binary people within the Australian Music Industry. We believe this initiative will have a wide-reaching effect for the music industry as a whole, and help to create a more diverse and progressive community.” Sarah Hamilton, Director & Co-Founder, One of One
“We were overwhelmed with the number and calibre of applications we received. It was clear there was a greater interest for this scholarship than we’d anticipated. Both Emily and Anne have had impressive careers in the music industry already, both are in great positions to take a lot from this opportunity and benefit the wider music community.” Tom Harris, Managing Director, White Sky
