On Thursday, 18 September, the Chinese Museum hosted Journey to Achievement with award-winning author and lawyer Alice Pung OAM. In an engaging and thoughtful address, Alice reflected on her personal journey and offered profound insights into how success can be understood across career, community, and personal life.

Her reflections on resilience, leadership, and the many forms of achievement deeply resonated with the audience, highlighting how individual experiences can shape broader conversations on identity, belonging, and growth.

The evening also provided an important opportunity for participants to connect with peers who share a commitment to advancing dialogue on Asian leadership and representation.

The Chinese Museum warmly thanks Alice Pung and all attendees for contributing to an inspiring event. We also extend our sincere gratitude to the National Foundation for China-Australia Relations (NFCAR) and ASPIRE for their generous support, which made this gathering possible. We look forward to continuing the Aspire Conversation Series with future voices and perspectives.
