Convener

Convener Way Forward Group 1998-2001
Treasurer, British Federation of University Women 2004 to present
Director of an international NGO since 1997
The experience that I have had in the positions listed above qualify
me for to be an IFUW Vice President. In addition to the serving as
the Convener of an IFUW Committee, I have had had experience with
the problems of running an international NGO which has no regular
dues income and am therefore familiar with the problems that IFUW
encounters on a day-to-day basis. As the BFWG Treasurer I have to
deal with the financial implications of a diminishing membership but
at the same time I have many years experience in raising funding for
projects and programmes, a direction in which IFUW should move for
its ultimate survival. The combination of my experiences in my professional
and volunteer lives gives me a unique advantage to assist IFUW in
the directions it must go in the years ahead.
I am also in a position to be ab le to assist IFUW in its relations
with the UN, insofar as I regularly meet and work with various bodies
within the UN system at the UN and national levels , particularly
in developing countries.

Ultimately my goal is to ensure that IFUW is a vibrant organization
