MPA International Women's Day Social 2025
In 2024, the Master Painters Association Queensland hosted an incredible International Women's Day event that celebrated, inspired, and empowered women in the trades. Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of attendees, the generosity of our sponsors, and the inspiring stories shared by guest speakers, the event became a highlight of the year. It not only showcased the invaluable contributions of women in traditionally male-dominated industries but also encouraged the next generation of women to explore rewarding careers in the trades.
The success of the 2024 event has fueled our excitement and determination to make the 2025 International Women’s Day celebration even bigger and better. Mark your calendars for March 7th, 2025, as we bring together industry leaders, tradeswomen, and aspiring professionals for another unforgettable day of learning, networking, and inspiration.
One of the key highlights of our 2025 event will be an exclusive talk by the accomplished Mia Hoppe, Managing Director of Jesari Building Group. Mia’s journey and achievements in the construction industry are a testament to the resilience, innovation, and leadership that women bring to the trades. Her story will undoubtedly resonate with attendees and spark meaningful conversations about breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity in the industry.
At the heart of this event is our commitment to providing a platform that celebrates women’s achievements while addressing the challenges they face. Through powerful guest speakers, engaging activities, and opportunities for mentorship and networking, we aim to inspire women to envision a future where their skills and passion thrive in the trades.
In addition to insightful talks, the event will feature interactive workshops and a chance to connect with industry professionals and employers. It’s an opportunity to not only celebrate but also to empower women to take bold steps toward fulfilling careers in painting and decorating, and other skilled trades.
The overwhelming support we received last year from attendees and sponsors proved that there’s a strong desire to see more women represented in the trades. This year, we are thrilled to continue that mission and invite everyone to join us in celebrating women’s achievements and championing diversity and inclusion in our industries.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a tradeswoman looking for inspiration, someone considering a career in the trades, or you support someone in the trades this event is for you. Together, let’s continue to break down barriers, celebrate success stories, and pave the way for future generations of women in trades.
We can’t wait to see you on March 7th, 2025, as we celebrate International Women’s Day with the same passion and enthusiasm that made last year’s event such a resounding success!
