Chief Executive Women welcomes new members

Chief Executive Women (CEW) is delighted to welcome 117 new members today, bolstering the membership rank to almost 1,000 women leaders. The growth in membership reflects the breadth of talented women in leadership roles in Australia and overseas.

New members include senior executive women representing business, government, and not-for-profit sectors. Notably, in this year’s intake one in five new members were nominated for CEW membership based on their significant impact, reputation and influence within their industry or community.

Chief Executive Women Board member and Membership Committee Chair Nicole Hollows said CEW looks forward to collaborating with new members to support gender equity initiatives and deliver its mission – women leaders enabling women leaders.

CEW has long advocated for women’s representation at every decision-making table around the country. Congratulations to CEW’s newest members, women leaders from a diverse range of sectors from corporate Australia alongside leaders from not-for-profit, the arts and importantly, growth sectors like STEM and health.

“In this year’s intake, CEW is delighted to welcome new members of significant impact and influence in business, the economy, cultural and political environments. These women leaders have made significant and positive impacts to their industry and their community.

We look forward to working in partnership with our new members to advance CEW’s advocacy and thought leadership work, as well as our Scholarships and Leaders Program, to support women in leadership and accelerate Australia’s gender equity agenda,

Hollows said.

Congratulations and welcome to CEW’s newest members.
