CEW welcomes 162 new members

CEW welcomes another 162 members, increasing our membership base to nearly 1100 talented women leaders.

Our growing membership reflects the breadth of talented women in leadership roles in a range of sectors including: not-for-profit, sport, health, academia, government and business across Australia.

The contributions of our members play an important role in helping to drive lasting change and bringing about positive outcomes for women and Australia more broadly.

CEW Board Member and Membership Committee Chair, Nicole Hollows says she looks forward to working with our new and existing members to enable CEW’s vision – a world where women and men have equal social and economic responsibilities and choices.

“These women have made significant positive impacts to their industry and their community and we look forward to working together to advance CEW’s thought leadership work as well as our Scholarships and Leadership Development programs, to accelerate women’s leadership and women’s economic contributions in Australia,” she says

Our next round of member nominations will open on 13 February 2023.
