Welcome to the Women’s Leadership Network 

The WLN has many successes to highlight over the past few months. Our links on this page will provide you with lots more details. Our first ever newsletter for WLN members, the “Leader”, has been distributed to our member organisations and we’d like to know what you think of that.

Together with LSN we have secured LSIS funding to conduct a major piece of research into gender issues and career progression through nine regional events. Find out more about our regional networks and our new mentoring programme for women aspiring to the top jobs.

Lastly, our membership is ever-increasing, which is fantastic because we need your support to continue our work. If you have not already done so, please join today!

I look forward to seeing many of you at AoC and WLN events.

Chair, Women’s Leadership Network
