The Victorian Division is thrilled to celebrate the end of The Year of Engagement and wishes to invite our members, sponsors and wider community to an evening of connection, collaboration and celebration! Rachael Bonetti will be joining Janice Parker for a high-value fireside chat on how to position yourself as a next-gen business support professional.

With a 27-year career supporting CEOs, Chairs, and a billionaire across global markets, she now works with executive assistants and executive teams to build strategic partnerships that amplify performance, reduce reactivity, and unlock high-impact collaboration.

As the founder of The Elite EA Academy, a Forbes Australia contributor, and host of the podcast Rewrite the Playbook, Rachael’s work reshapes what’s possible for the profession - empowering EAs to show up as trusted advisors, strategic operators, and next-gen talent in a fast-evolving world.
