The Australian Women in Coffee Association launched on the 29th May 2016. So far the group stands at 7 members and is led by Georgina Lumb, Australian National Aeropress Champion 2016 and Training Manager at Patio Coffee Roasters. All 7 founding members come from different work backgrounds and all contribute different experiences as women currently working within the industry.
The aim of this group coming together is to support and empower fellow women working in coffee, not only through being a support network, but also furthering education and providing opportunities for growth.
They will achieve this through a big social media presence, as is the favoured networking tool of the industry, and also by running a few events throughout the year.
Keep up to date with them through their Facebook and Instagram for further details and how to get involved and/or support the association.
