Make Room for the Men in Projects Leadership!
In the light of Philip Davies MP’s recent appointment to the Women and Equalities Committee, it’s clearly high time we focussed a bit of attention on the men in their quest for fair representation in projects leadership. As Philip says so eloquently, “feminist zealots” are “stirring up” problems. So let’s get some balance and offer men the same opportunities that women get, with a launch conference for a special interest group for “Men in Projects Leadership”.
Opening Address from inspirational male role model: “How I overcame the odds in my journey to the top”
