Baker & McKenzie’s Samantha Gash and Norton Rose’s Sally Macindoe have been named as finalists in the NAB’s Women's Agenda Leadership Awards.

Gash ran 379km across the Simpson desert last year to raise funds for charity whilst becoming the youngest Australian to complete a non-stop run through the desert. It will be a more sedate pace for Gash and her colleagues on 7 March at Doltone House, when the winners will be revealed.
