A Seat at the Table
Empowering Women to Become Leaders
A Seat at the Table is an 18-month long project run by the Assist Women’s Network with the aim to support women in their professional development. The project aims to inspire women to aim higher and take up leadership positions, whether that be within local government, on chairs and committees or within their own careers. The objective is that once we establish more women in leadership positions, we will generate greater policy change for women and their families within the Northeast.
A Seat at the Table aims to create a community of professional businesswomen and politically enthusiastic individuals that can educate, inspire and support each other to gain leadership positions. We aim to achieve this by:
Our Aims
Educate
Educate women on the political avenues for change through a series of workshops.
Inspire
Inspire women to become politically engaged by hosting a speaker programme and regular debates.
Support
Support collaboration to address inequalities that present a barrier to women’s professional development by backing timely campaigns.
We are an inclusive project and we recognise that in order to support women’s professional development, we need to work to level the playing field to ensure A Seat at the Table for all.
At our Assist Women’s Network International Women’s Day event this year, Chelsea will be will be running an ASATT stall for you to find our more information about the project
