TIAW Global Cities launch focuses on role models |
 By Silvia Cambié, Regional Director, Europe & Middle East, TIAW
One of the reasons why women join TIAW is the search for role models. The purpose of a network is to provide members with examples of inspiring women at the top.
The importance of female role models for women’s career development was one of key messages at the launch of TIAW’s latest initiative, Global Cities, which took place in London, UK, on 14th May at Asia House www.asiahouse.org.
Ruth Sealy, Doctoral Researcher from the International Centre for Women Leaders at Cranfield University’s School of Management, spoke about the findings of her work. The lack of senior female role models continues to be cited as a key barrier to women’s career success. Ruth’s projects show how organisations need to develop much deeper levels of cultural, emotional and relational awareness, to encourage women to aspire to leadership positions. |

Recap of 2008 Global Summit of Women |
 By Tracy Stanley, Regional Membership Chair Asia Pacific,TIAW
In early June, 1,000 participants from 72 countries were warmly welcomed to
Hanoi, Vietnam for the annual Global Summit of Women. This annual event which has now been running for 18 years, seeks to connect individuals and organizations across government, business and the non-government sectors for the exchange of ideas and the identification of solutions to barriers that women face globally. Year after year, the summit builds and inspires a community of women committed to not only improving women’s economic status, but to recognizing and celebrating their achievements.
The format of the 3-day event included plenary sessions, workshops and networking activities. The summit is also complemented by an exhibitors showcase. Prior to the formal opening of the Summit, thirty-two government ministers with responsibilities for Finance, Education, Environment and Women’s Affairs convened a roundtable to explore Advancing Girls and Women’s Economic Opportunities through Public and Private Sector Partnerships. An additional pre-summit session was also facilitated on Doing Business in which was very relevant given the dynamic economic development potential of our host country.

Meeting Our Members in Hanoi and Singapore |
By Maxine Westaway, Executive Director TIAW
Since TIAW has long been a supporter and partner of the Global Summit for Women, I was delighted to represent TIAW in Hanoi to attend this years summit June 5 – 7th. The theme Women and Asia: Driving the Global Economy celebrated women’s leadership in Asia and worldwide by bringing together about 1,000 businesswomen, scientists and government leaders from 72 countries. Women in Asia have come a long way in just three decades to become an integral part of their country’s economic growth, but they have yet to reach a level playing field that allows them to become full leaders in every arena of life. An event such as this provides us with a great opportunity to learn more about our host country and the women who live and work there. |
