Thinking about joining our committee?

Nawic London and South East is the largest of the NAWIC UK groups, this means we are always interested in hearing in from people who want to support and can join the team to help provide a great service for our members.

As well as organising a range of networking, training and personal development events where our members have the opportunity to meet each other and grow their network, we also collaborate with a variety of diversity-driven organisations by partnering on events, sharing best practice and opportunities. To do this we have a committee, chaired by Annie, so we can smoothly and efficiently make this happen, and so as we continue to grow we are looking for new people to join!

Currently we have a few volunteer vacancies including:

  • General committee member
  • Deputy Treasurer
  • Sustainability Champion
  • Education Champion
