The Gender Champions Meeting
The Gender Champions Meeting brings urgency to the need for greater gender diversity in top companies and institution, namely:
- The need for women to own and steer the roadmap of business leadership in top executive committees and boards in Africa.
- The necessity to create original, high-impact, proprietary content by African leaders, hungry to reach gender equal boards and executive committees.
The Gender Champions Meeting also conveys the gravitas of the WFC vision and purpose:
Fairer, stronger, more competitive African boards and executive committees, empowered by gender-diverse transformative leadership and strategies.

It is therefore paramount for us to provide them with hands-on, high-impact, results-driven, boardroom-tested blueprints for business leadership in Africa. It also means equipping them with the innovative tools, high-level engagement and self-awareness needed to kickstart their leadership into hyper-growth and to make it transformative in their companies and institutions.
