About us

The Women's Network: Career, Growth and Community is designed to support colleagues in grades 2 to 7 who identify as women. We warmly welcome anyone within these grades who identifies as female to join our events in November and December. We try to run events across different days of the week and using different formats, to enable as many colleagues as possible to be able to join.
