Champion Change as an Ambassador
As an Ambassador, you’ll use your voice, network, and expertise to champion diversity, inspire future talent, and help drive progress toward 40% of women in leadership by 2030. If you’re passionate about building a more inclusive and balanced energy industry, we’d love to hear from you.
Before registering your interest, please take a moment to read through the information on this page to understand the Ambassadors Programme and what it involves.
What is an Ambassador?
Ambassadors are champions for POWERful Women (PfW), supporting our goal of achieving at least 40% women in middle management and leadership roles in the UK energy sector by 2030.
They help us achieve this through three core actions:
- SUPPORTING,
- CHALLENGING,
- CONNECTING
From the beginning, PfW has been guided by influential leaders in the energy sector and beyond,who act as advocates, allies, and contributors of expertise. Our Ambassadors leverage their position, profile, networks, and influence to amplify the PfW mission and raise awareness of the importance of diversity in the industry.
Being a POWERful Women ambassador is about using your voice and influence to spark real change in the energy sector. It’s about leveraging our positions to inspire change, support emerging talent, and ensure that women have equal opportunities to lead and innovate in this transformative industry”
