Speaker Spotlight – Women of the Pilbara Forum 2025
Join us at the Women of the Pilbara Forum to hear from Tina Taylor, Manager Communities – Shire of Ashburton
We asked Tina our signature three questions ahead of the Forum:
I have lived in the Pilbara for just on 7 years this time around, but my connection to the region goes much deeper. I spent four years as a child and returned for another two years in my early twenties. Altogether the Pilbara has shaped over a decade of my life, and it continues to be a place I proudly call home.
My passion for the Pilbara is rooted in its people and the strength of its communities. There’s a resilience and warmth here that’s unlike anywhere else I’ve lived – its in the way people show up for one another, the pride and shared determination to make this region thrive.
I’m driven by the opportunity to support communities in fostering a sense of belonging, connection, and inclusiveness.
Improving the liveability of our region is at the heart of what I do. That means championing opportunities for growth, advocating for services and support, and helping to build communities where people not only want to stay, but where they truly succeed.
Being a part of the Women of the Pilbara Forum is incredibly exciting as it celebrates the voices, stories, and achievement of women who contribute to making this region thrive. It’s a chance to connect, inspire, and learn from one another.
Save the Date 15th-16th October at the Women of the Pilbara Forum, Hedland Hotel – Port Hedland.
