How Women Lead

18th Feb 2014 6:30pm

Sallis Benney Theatre
RSA Brighton

In the US and Europe, women account for fewer than 17% of board members of large publicly listed companies. There has been no significant change in this trend for several years. In the UK, we have seen some movement with women now occupying almost 19% of seats. In the non-profit sector the statistics are equally low with just 20% of top positions held by women.

So why is it so difficult to get to the top? And what do women leaders say about leadership at the top? Three prominent women in Brighton and Hove discuss their experience and reflections.

Speakers:

  • Penny Thompson, Chief Executive, Brighton and Hove City Council
  • Anne Boddington, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Brighton
  • Caroline Lucas, Green MP, Brighton Pavilion
The event is chaired by RSA Chief Executive Matthew Taylor.
This event is open to the general public, Fellows and their guests.
