Lucy Frazer QC MP invites you to a free event aimed at inspiring, encouraging and informing women about the possibility of second careers in public service.
We are delighted that Dame Mary Archer has agreed to be our keynote speaker. Mary has a wide range of experience in public roles and her talk will be followed by a quick-fire session during which a number of speakers from the public sector will offer a brief introduction of their role.
Confirmed quick-fire participants are:
Sarah Brown, Lay Member, General Pharmaceutical Council
Professor Jacquie Burgess, Chair, Broads Authority
Sally Collier, Chief Regulator, Ofqual
Yvonne Craig, Public Governor, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
Maria Desmond, Chair, Kirkham Prison Independent Monitoring Board
Elisabeth Every, Local Councillor and Governor of Ely College
Perdita Fraser, Non-Executive Director, Big Lottery Fund
Anne Longfield CBE, Children’s Commissioner
Vicky McDermott, Chief Executive, Papworth Trust
Nazo Moosa, Non-Executive Director, Arts Council
Sue Owen, Permanent Secretary, Department for Culture, Media and Sport
Caroline Waters OBE, Deputy Chair, Equality and Human Rights Commission
Professor Jackline Wahba, Member, Migration Advisory Committee
Jenny Watson, Chair, Electoral Commission
Cabinet Office Public Appointments Team
Later in the morning, delegates will have the opportunity to consult with the quick-fire participants on a one to one basis as well as join an optional workshop run by a leading headhunter who specialises in public appointments.
So if you have ever considered taking on a public service role – perhaps as a second career – or are interested in learning more, this morning will provide you with a breadth of inspiration!
