Dear
colleague
Welcome to our Spring e-bulletin.
International
Women’s Day - 8 March, 2012
In celebration of International Women’s Day, the WLN is
launching a new award for the Further Education
sector:
Inspiring Leader
Award 2012
Do you know of a woman who has
made a difference? Who has achieved great things?
Who has inspired others to achieve?
Or a man or woman who has worked
tirelessly to support and develop women leaders? Who has
created the conditions in which they can thrive? Or a
woman who has overcome the odds to succeed?
The WLN wants to recognise their
contribution to the cause of women’s success in
leadership by creating a national award, to be announced
and presented at this year’s Annual Women’s
Leadership Network Conference on 24 May 2012.
Email nominations to Marion
Wilford at marion.wilford@wlnfe.org.uk to
arrive by the 5 May 2012.
