Call out for Chair of WIA 2024
WIA UK is looking for a new Chair!
**This application process is on hold till further notice**
Are you committed to championing/supporting women in Architecture, enthusiastic about making a difference, and excited to make our voices heard?
Would you like to lead WIA UK in its next exciting phase of growth and ambition?
We are looking for a charismatic, visionary, leader with strong communication skills, knowledge and passion to advocate for more equality in the profession, particularly in women-related matters and committed to representing WIA UK values in the public realm. You will have an understanding of intersectional issues and champion diversity in all projects. You will act as an ambassador for WIA UK and lead a team of committee members who prepare in-person and online talks, social networking events, activist campaigns, etc.
Your role will involve working with the WIA UK committee members to create a vision and follow through on projects, leading the committee, overseeing our annual programme of events, speaking and representing our views, and campaigning for those whose voices are not heard. Public speaking experience is recommended, as is a social media presence or professional visibility.
The time required is on average 2-8 hours per week (depending on events), plus you will attend regular monthly strategy meetings and WIA events. As WIA is a not-for-profit organisation, there is no financial remuneration but the rewards can be expressed as fulfilling a sense of purpose, belonging and making a transformational contribution to Architecture.
We look forward to hearing from you!
