We’re looking for five new Advisory Panel members to help shape our strategy and champion equity across the sports industry.

These are voluntary positions, offering a unique opportunity to influence the future of our thriving, inclusive community of 14,000 women working in sport.

We’re especially keen to hear from members with diverse backgrounds & perspectivesincluding women of colour, LGBTQ+ people, disabled women and those from lower socio-economic groups. You just need to have been a member for at least 6 months.

If you share our mission to empower women in sport and can bring your insights, experience and energy to the panel, we’d love to hear from you.
