Lisa has been a strong and visible role model to me and other women within our industry for many years, a real trail blazer! While we will battle on for women to be given the recognition they deserve, we have less of a struggle on our hands to find allies these days, and that’s all down to people like Lisa, who have walked the path before us. From everyone at the IOR and the IOR's Women in RACHP, a big congratulations to Lisa, we are proud to work with you.”
