I'm passionate about empowering others and put myself forward as Chair of the Women Leaders’ Network because I wanted to be an active voice and contributor to the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy led by Past President Rachael Warwick.
Over the next year, the Women Leaders’ Network will be exploring the barriers to leadership and creating new opportunities through networking, while learning from a range of women speakers from across the sector. We are committed to:
- promoting the voice of women leaders
- discussing current issues facing women leaders and those aspiring to leadership positions
- developing a safe space for formal and informal coaching and mentoring
- contributing to policy and practice so that representation is visible
We aim to meet half-termly, with the next meeting dates scheduled for 27 April, 15 June and 6 July.
