Women in Sport Leadership
.
The Women in Sport Leadership Programme is a collaborative initiative between the Organisational Development & Change Team and the Women In Sport Team. Delivered in partnership with Jo Hopkins Consulting, it’s designed to empower and elevate women in leadership roles within the sports sector. This programme aligns with the Sport Ireland Policy on Women in Sport (WIS), which emphasises the importance of leadership and governance and the commitment to increasing the number of women in leadership and governance roles.

“I absolutely loved the Women in Leadership Programme that came to an end last Wednesday. Jo and Eliza ran a brilliant programme with super guest speakers and lots of time for chatting with the other women and forming ideas. It also opened my own eyes to my style of leadership and what I would like to focus on.”
