• Over the past 18 months, Jacqui has worked tirelessly to get the AWSN off the ground. In addition to raising her young family and delivering on her work commitments, Jacqui has worked many volunteer hours each week on AWSN and partnering with other related organisations like AISA and the SANS Institute

• The growth has been very strong with over 300 members in AWSN’s LinkedIn group. AWSN grows each day and has chapters established across Australia in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth with plan to develop AWSN chapters in Adelaide, Hobart and Darwin, if there are members interested in taking leadership roles

• This year, AWSN has hosted networking events and learning opportunities in five states; facilitated mentoring and on-the-job training opportunities; contributed to women in security research; presented at universities and in the creation of a job profile project.
