The Cabinet Office is
holding a series of Receptions hosted by The Rt Hon Francis Maude. The aim is to encourage more women into Public Appointments. From its aspirational aim of achieving parity, ie 50%, the Minister was delighted to tell us that almost 40% of Public Appointments are now held by women.
Pink Shoe Club was able to
take the first Shadowing Scheme cohort of women to the latest event, along with Programme Director Vanda Green.
This reception focused on appointments with the NHS. It was an excellent opportunity for the Pink Shoe Cohort to meet women already holding senior appointments to gain greater insight into the roles available and what is needed to take up a post.
