We are currently seeking volunteers to fill several specialist roles. Could you help us run Astrea?

“I have enjoyed my time as Deputy Co-Chair, sitting at the heart of the Astrea Committee. As part of the role is to put together the agenda and manage the minutes, I always knew what was going on and could get involved in the various events and sessions that were planned.  As an enthusiastic supporter of women and women’s initiatives, this allowed me to spread the word about Astrea and the great things we do and introduce people to our network. I was also able to represent Astrea by taking on a key project (the Happy to Chat benches) last summer, which gave me great exposure personally with senior members of staff (as well as a Spotlight in TheWeek@°×С½ãÂÛ̳) and the chance to work with many different people inside and outside of °×С½ãÂÛ̳.  The role allows you to be proactive and take advantage of opportunities that can benefit women – and everyone – at °×С½ãÂÛ̳." - Liz Mooney, former Deputy Co-Chair

Joining the Astrea Committee is a great way to enhance your institutional citizenship, broaden your skillset, and connect with colleagues across °×С½ãÂÛ̳.
