Do women really need a leg-up to play with the business boys or are we doing just fine on our own? The glass ceiling, boys club and so-called reverse discrimination… The quota debate is a big one – a veritable can of worms in fact – and we plan to rip it right open and take a long hard look at what’s inside at the annual AIM Women in Management Great Debate.
Hear the teams battle it out over a few laughs, fine wines and great food in Sydney on Friday 3rd June and Canberra on Friday 1st July 2011. With a fabulous line up of speakers including Ita Buttrose, Jean Kittson and Fiona O’Loughlin, all kept in check by our marvellous MC Julie McCrossin, tickets for this fun-filled, provocative and topical event are selling fast.

Tell us what you think. If we’re ‘placed’ at the top via mandatory quotas, what does this say about merit – are we only good for making up the numbers? Follow us on Twitter and have your say #forquotas or #againstquotas
