By coming together, we can break down barriers, support one another, and cultivate a culture where every voice is heard. Let’s celebrate diversity, challenge the status quo, and build a more inclusive future in geospatial science—one that benefits us all.

Guest speaker:

Hear from the inspirational Cherie Dear, the founder of Dare to Hope.  

 Dare to Hope was founded by Cherie and her husband Paul Dear when the 1991 Norm Smith Medalist and Hawthorn Football Club Premiership player was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in September 2020.  Paul sadly lost his battle two years later, and Cherie now gives her time and energy into raising funds for research.  Listen to how she and her family took an approach of hope and positivity, and draw inspiration from their journey.
