HOW GENDER EQUALITY CAN PROVIDE THE WINNING MARGIN
10th of February
Time : 9-10.30 am & 3-4.30pm
In this session, Leanne Norman will explore how inclusive leadership and coaching workforces in athletics can provide wider organisational success, efficiency, and effectiveness. Fairer and equitable working cultures not only benefit individuals within our athletics systems but can also improve the way we work as federations. In this talk, she will reflect on current individual and organisational thinking towards issues of diversity and inclusion and explore a different approach to addressing these. She will turn our attention away from ‘fixing women’, to ‘fixing systems’ to adopt a more holistic, longer lasting, and sustainable approach to tackling the age-old issue of gender inequality in athletics coaching and governance.
This will be followed by a presentation from Lilly-Ann O’Hora, the Women in Sport Officer with Athletics Ireland who will talk about how she identified current gaps and future opportunities for women in sport and the programmes devised to increase women’s sustained involvement in sport as coaches, volunteers, club members, athletes, advocates, leaders and participants from grassroots to the podium.
