Women-Space Leadership Award
The Staff Development Forum is delighted to announce the 2024 Women-Space Leadership Award to acknowledge and recognise the outstanding leadership of women across different grades in promoting gender equality in professional and academic positions. It recognises colleagues who play a role at different stages of their careers, including management and leadership positions.
The Women-Space Leadership Award reflets the 2024 Festival of Learning and Development’s overarching theme of ‘Transform, Empower and Balance: Moving towards an adaptive mindset in times of disruption
The award aims to encourage more women to embody their own leadership styles, increase awareness of the capabilities and successes of women leaders, and raise awareness of women’s own power.
The shortlisted submissions will be invited to be part of Women-Space’s case studies, showcasing good practice and inspiring others in the sector.
