Specific Details Inviting Senator Hoey to attend ISSU's women's conference in March to deliver key note speech.

Intended results I invited Senator Annie Hoey to come to the Irish Second-level Students' Union's Women's Conference that took place on the 8th of March to give the key note address. My intended outcome was to get a speaker for the event that was in a field that has been predominately male and to inspire the young people attending the event. Annie Hoey was a good choice because she has done previous work in student voice being a former USI president.
