Sandra Murphy, Group Event Creation & Production Manager – “It’s important that we continue to encourage women in business, a lot has been done but we have so much more to do. The balance on boards and executive leadership not only encourages better leadership and governance, but further contributes to better all-round board performance, and ultimately increased corporate performance for both companies, their shareholders and economic growth”
Gender equality is essential for economies and communities to thrive. The race is on for the gender-equal boardroom, a gender-equal boardroom, gender-equal media coverage, gender-equal workplaces, gender-equal sports coverage, more gender equality in health and wealth, so let’s make it happen. Let’s be #eachforequal. Come join us on Friday the 6th of March to celebrate women.
