“

Having been involved with WIZOUK for 15 years, both as a member and serving on the Board of Trustees, I am particularly honoured to take on the role of Chair especially at this vital time. Coming from a WIZO family, I value the extraordinary commitment of WIZO women across the globe and feel privileged for the opportunity to take forward the good work of those who have gone before me.
