CFA’s Sally Jones on Asset Management
Having a chat is something I love to do. I’m curious by nature, I’m interested in other people, and being in a job where I can combine my loquacious personality with my other favourite activity, writing, makes me a pretty happy camper. So, in late October, I was delighted to sit with Sally Jones, Manager of Asset Management at Victoria’s Country Fire Authority—better known as the CFA—to interview her for a post relating to our Women in Asset Management Special Interest Group.
On the 18th October 2018, the NSW Women in Asset Management (WiAM) Special Interest Group hosted its second Sydney Chapter event; Miriam Stacy (Place Management, Property NSW) gave a thoroughly absorbing presentation on the role she and her team plays in repurposing heritage-listed property assets in The Rocks area of Sydney. 
We hope all the mentors and mentees in our Women in Transport Asset Management Mentoring Program had a great day on Saturday with it being International Mentoring Day! Since our pilot program is focused around progressing Women in the Transport space, we thought it apt to revisit a webinar the AMCouncil’s special interest group, Women in Asset Management (WiAM), hosted last year.
Read the latest Women in Engineering newsletter out which includes articles about Women of the Month, Victoria Dodds, WIE representation at the National Schools Science Week and also an interesting recount of the WIE Senior Women in Engineering Lunch feating Dr Collette Burke, Victorian Chief Engineering, who were were lucky enough to have speak at our recent Asset Management in Government symposium. A great read and can be downloaded 
We were excited to officially launch the 2018 Women in Transport Asset Management Mentoring Program yesterday. It is one of the outcomes of a strategic partnership between the Asset Management Council and Transport for Victoria.
