Rob Baker and Sonya Richardson were successfully elected at the Annual General Meeting to propel PWN Global to be one of the foremost global gender balanced networks of the future. 

The network that historically has supported women in their career growth, and more recently is also engaging more and more men to unite in achieving balanced leadership in business and society, believes strongly in men and women joining together in leadership. Co-President Rob Baker commented:

"We are leading the way by bringing balanced leadership to our organisation. Sonya and I have complementary skills and competencies which will help us work together well, sharing this challenging and exciting role". 

Co - President Sonya Richardson commented,

"After serving as PWN Global’s President for the past two years, it was time for PWN to practice what we preach: balanced leadership. I was thrilled that Rob, formerly our board member overseeing our Balanced Leadership activities, agreed to join me as co-President. For the first time in PWN's Global history, we have a male/female co-presidency. We hope that through leading by example, we will illustrate to the world, how serious we are about gender balance. I look forward to working with Rob, in meeting our vision and messaging around gender balanced leadership. PWN Global exists to connect people via our unique global network, inspiring the leaders of today to create exemplary leaders of tomorrow”.

PWN (Professional Womens Network) Global is a federation of PWN city networks across more than 29 cities worldwide, with over 3500 members representing 90 nationalities. PWN Global exists to advance gender balanced leadership.

The 'For Purpose’ volunteer association is creating a movement of professional business people and leaders who aspire to accelerate the current pace of change towards gender balanced leadership.
