The
Womens
Industry Network Seafood Community
(WINSC) will hold its AGM and
National Conference
in Hobart, Tasmania
in September 2002.
WINSC is a
non-profit independent organisation that links together
women of the fishing and seafood industry from all around
Australia.
WINSC’s aim is to foster a sense of pride, tradition and
unity within women in the seafood industry and to develop
and improve the skills, knowledge and attitudes of the
seafood industry so that the industry can become more
competitive and reach its full potential.
The annual conference promises to be a
fantastic opportunity to meet women from right around
Australia involved in many and varied sectors of the seafood
industry, provide current information on a range of hot
industry topics, and to experience a field day in the
Tasmanian seafood industry.
The
conference will be held Wednesday 18th September

Point Casino in Hobart. It will draw together women from
every state and Territory of Australia, who are involved in
fishing, fish farming, fish
processing
plants, training, government, education and research amongst
other areas. Within the seafood industry, women work in
their own businesses, as partners in a family business or as
employees in a range of roles which include operating
vessels, farming fish, deckhands, processors, managers,
administrative and clerical work, training, research,
governance, fish management, business management, and much
more.
