The luncheon was a tremendous success. Your professionalism was outstanding and your contribution to the panel discussion kept guests both engaged and entertained throughout the event. We are confident that everyone left the event feeling inspired.

Craig Eloranta. City of Melbourne.

Thank you so much for the outstanding job you did at Lunch to Liberate. You were engaging, warm, smart, articulate and always in control.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect MC for the day and we felt very lucky to have you!

Jo Pride, CEO Hagar Australia

The event enabled us to reach an audience we would not have been able to reach and raise awareness of our work in the prevention of violence against women and their children.

We have received only positive feedback from attendees and that is in part due to your work in the lead up to and during the event as MC.

Patty Kinnersley, Chief Executive Officer Our Watch

I have had the pleasure of working with Martine Harte from Engaging Women for several years. Martine has effectively used her public profile to create more opportunities for women, with the goal of achieving global gender equality. I have personally benefited from her efforts as she has generously advocated for more women speakers .

Michelle Redfern, Advancing Women in Sport

Martine’s commitment to raising women’s voices and promoting equality has resulted in an invaluable central point for organisations and people to find these inspirational women.

A true supporter of elevating women’s voices and promoting equality.
