Five years ago I hosted my first senior women in housing leadership dinner in the North West. Fast forward to now and we have three very active groups including the South East and Midlands too. And last week we brought 800+ people together to celebrate the 11th edition of the women in housing awards.
So when people suggested I do something for the wider living sector it felt right. As media we have a responsibility to support our sector, and I was overjoyed when the other amazing women we reached out to, all already championing others in their field, immediately came on board. And in less than three weeks we have launched Women in Living100.
