Spotlight Suffolk: Have women smashed the glass ceiling?

Join us for the latest Spotlight Suffolk event as part of International Women's Day to discuss whether women have smashed the glass ceiling and whether organisations and businesses are doing enough to enable women to lead.

An International Women’s Day panel of senior leaders will discuss whether organisations and businesses are doing enough to enable women to lead.

The University of Suffolk’s Spotlight Suffolk discussion will be chaired by Chief Constable Rachel Kearton and takes place on Wednesday 4 March in the Waterfront Building in Ipswich.

Panellists to include:

• Professor Jenny Higham, Vice-Chancellor of the University
• Judi Newman, Chief Executive of St Elizabeth Hospice
• Pauline Essah, CEO of Essa, an organisation dedicated to high-quality education in sub-Saharan Africa
• Honor Pollok, Founder and CEO of executive search agency Kynigos Partners

The University’s popular Spotlight Suffolk events cover topics that matter to communities in the county. Previous events have covered sustainability, crime and safety, AI and whether Ipswich should bid for city status.

Upcoming free events at the University also include an Open Lecture, A History of Refugees in Suffolk by Martin Simmonds from Suffolk Refugee support, introduced by the charity’s patron Sir Nick Young on Thursday 12 February.

Doors open at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start. Attendance must be booked in advance.
