To mark International Women’s day, Sport Ireland are hosting a Women in Sport Leadership Webinar on Monday the 8th of March from 1pm to 2pm.
We encourage CEOs, Coordinators, Board Members, Senior Leaders/Management, Women in Sport Leads and all Sport Sector employees/volunteers with an interest in leadership and gender equality in sport to attend. Men are most definitely welcome to attend.
This webinar will further explore the topic of women in leadership covering everything from leading in an organisation, to mentoring, to inspiring others to lead. The theme of International Women’s Day 2021 is ‘Choose to Challenge’. We will hear from the leaders mentioned below on whether this is a relevant theme in their work or if they think sport has turned a corner when it comes to gender equality.
