Over 70 of the region’s most influential women from business and the public sector will be attending a Norfolk Chamber of Commerce Working Lunch today at Sprowston Manor Hotel to review and debate what Economic Equality means to the Norfolk Economy and what more can be done to inspire Norfolk’s young people.
Caroline Williams CEO Norfolk Chamber said: “As women business leaders, it is important to review if we are as visible as we could be to help our young people understand what is achievable?
I believe that it is up to us individually and collectively to raise the profile of our achievements across our industries to inspire the next generation of our young people. There is already a lot of good work happening in Norfolk and surrounding counties but we need to do more.
This working lunch is an opportunity to bring together, the region’s influential women to discuss and debate what we can do differently to raise the profile of our achievements and to see how we can achieve Economic Equality.
We are delighted to have secured Wendy Bowers, a successful enterprise ambassador, from So Business Solutions as a keynote speaker. In addition to identifying key actions, we will also, through our discussions, add value to the research currently being undertaken by Dr Haya Al-Dajani of the UEA, on behalf of the NALEP Economic Equality Group who are reviewing how the full potential of women within the economy can be unlocked.”
