Our key objectives are as follows:

Provide a forum for women working in the field of public policy (local and national government, elected or civil service, research and development, think tanks and academic institutions) and those seeking to have influence in these arenas

Meet, network and discuss issues of topical interest, for example: equality audits at work; impact of the pensions crisis on women; representation of women in elected bodies/public boards.

Provide informal mentoring and support for younger women coming up in the ranks
