Nobody is more convincing than Ita when it comes to speaking about the difficulties and challenges of working in a traditionally male domain, always with intelligence, creativity, courtesy as well as a smile.
Ita Buttrose
Twice voted Australia’s most admired woman, Ita Buttrose has led in many different areas of endeavours: as a businesswoman, journalist, author, advisor to corporate, community and welfare organisations and as a company director. A successful career woman and mother, she pioneered the way for many women and, through the magazines and newspapers she has edited, has driven and influenced public opinion. She has never been shy of controversy or confronting difficult issues.
Ita is the special guest speaker at this year’s Ladies’ Boat Show Lunch, part of the extensive ‘Women on Water’ program at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, 24-27 May.
This invitation-only event, organised and presented by the boat show team, will be held at the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove, Friday 25 May, with MC the Seven Network’s Kimberley Busteed.
The 2012 ‘Women on Water’ program will include Cooking On Board Your Boat sessions hosted by Seven’s culinary expert, Sally Jenyns, fashion parades in the Piazza, skipper training and the popular “High Tea on the High Seas” cruises.
Luxury Motor Yacht The Lady
Ladies are advised to leave their blokes at the boat show and enjoy a scenic sojourn with fun, frivolity and plenty of pampering as well as gather their gal pals and embark on the luxury motor yacht The Lady, the ravishingly retro little function boat, fabulously fitted out by Boat Style for these two special cruises, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May.
Visitors are invited to don their finest and enjoy champagne and canapés served with the pleasant backdrop of the Coomera River and the magnificent motor yachts and sailing craft on display at this year’s event.
During the two hour cruise, there will be presentations of fashion, décor, fine jewellery and other lifestyle essentials, plus pampering sessions onboard thanks to Champions Hair, Beauty & Day Spa. Added to that, each guest will receive a generous gift bag with amazing samples and VIP offers.
Proudly sponsored by Club Marine, the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is now in its 24th year and a member of IFBSO.
