Two high ranking businesswomen visted Cardiff Business School on\u00a0 last week (Tuesday 14th October) to encourage women to work towards leadership positions.<\/p>\n

In 2012, women made up only 28.5% of directorship appointments in Cardiff. However, at The Inspiring Women in Leadership lecture, co-hosted by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), CEO Helen Brand OBE, and Emma Watkins, director of CBI Wales, encouraged companies to embrace diversity, and spur women to reach the top.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the event Ben Cottam of ACCA Wales said, \u201cIt makes good business sense that organisations should ensure a better representation of women in leadership, if Cardiff want to gain investment we want to be able to send a message that says we want to see women achieve their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
