OUR FUTURE FEMALE LEADERS PROGRAM
An innovative leadership program for Women in Bowls.
Following the recent implementation of The Women in Bowls Working Party, Bowls Australia (BA) is proud to announce the launch of the Our Future Female Leaders Program.
Our Future Female Leaders Program is a learning and development program that has come to fruition with the significant support provided by Sport Aust and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).
