Women CEO's Special Interest Group
Meetings: 10 June- London & 01 October - Newcastle

Thank you for your interest in the new Special Interest Group (SIG)
for Women CEO's, the response has been very positive and we are now
ready to take this forward, with what looks like a huge agenda.

We are enormously grateful to two of our commercial partners who have
offered this group such positive support, Bates Wells and Braithwaite
and Dickenson Dees, who will host these meetings in London on the 10
June 09 - 17:00-19:00 and in Newcastle on the 01 October 09 -
12:00-14:00.

The original call for the establishment of this network came after the
publication last winter of the ACEVO Pay Survey, which identified a
growing gender gap in chief executive salaries - where inconsistencies
were revealed in comparisons between median salaries of men and women
showing that overall in the sector, women's salary median has
decreased by 2.8% while men's has risen by 3.9% further widening the
gender pay gap.

Since then I have had calls to widen the agenda to include further
issues, such as:
* Women as Chairs and Trustees
* Young women CEO's - succession planning
* The glass ceiling
* Peer support for women CEO's

Whilst we will look in depth at the topics you will want us to
challenge, at the first meeting let us identify our areas of activity,
and ensure that we do not duplicate any other activity, so ensuring
what we can offer is what Women CEO's need from each other and via
ACEVO.

If you would like to book your self on any of the above dates please
contact the events team at events at acevo.org.uk mentioning with "Women
CEOs SIG" as the subject saying which date you would like to attend.

If you would like to know more about the group then please contact me
at jenny.berry at acevo.org.uk or call 0113 243 2333.

I look forward to meeting you soon.
