The Women's National Commission in conjunction with the Government Equalities Office are holding a series of events in each of the English regions to highlight the role that women can play in public life.

The Government is committed to increasing the numbers of women with public appointments, which currently stands at 33.3%. 

The events will explore the range of opportunities available, from being a local councillor or magistrate to getting involved with school boards or the local NHS Trust.  Participants will also receive a range of documents explaining the application process and giving helpful tips and advice, as well as practical exercises.  The day will also begin with a networking breakfast.
