YOUR VIEW You are probably aware the State Government has set the date of the Daylight Savings referendum for May 16. It has been a very contentious issue and we’d like to know what our LIST women think after the three year trial. At the moment the referendum wording only has two options – Yes, or No, but we suspect that a lot of people would like a third option – Yes but only if it finishes a month earlier. Let us know your view by completing our LISTpoll – click here. We are thrilled to have so many of you joining us at Women of Influence and utilizing this unique opportunity to learn from three truly accomplished and influential WA women. We also hope that many of you will think about booking for International Women’s Day as a chance to get women in your office together to celebrate the achievements of all women. We look forward to seeing you soon. Regards The LunchBox List Team
