An all-star line-up of speakers has been announced for the Change Our Game International Women's Day lunch on 8 March 2019, to explore the theme Women in Sport and the Media.

Director of the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation, Dr Bridie O’Donnell today revealed the speakers, headlined by leading radio and TV sports broadcaster Tracey Holmes.
