While March may have been Women's History Month, today, we celebrate diversity and leadership at Women Leaders in Code Enforcement 2024. As we approach the fourth annual Women Leaders in Code Enforcement (#WLCE2024) national conference on April 22, we reflect on the remarkable journey of women in the field of code enforcement and building regulations. This conference is not just an event; it's a pivotal gathering that marks a significant stride toward a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse professional community. (Although, we're psyched about the yoga 🧘♂️ and paint & sip events too!) The significance of diversity in leadership and teamwork cannot be overstated. Research consistently shows that diverse voices in leadership positions lead to more innovative, inclusive, and successful outcomes. The WLCE 2024 conference is championing this cause, providing a platform for women code enforcement professionals to share experiences, challenges, and triumphs. This year's agenda is particularly compelling. It features veteran code enforcement officials who have paved the way for women in the industry. These trailblazers will share their stories of being the first women in their roles, offering invaluable insights into their journeys. Additionally, the conference will tackle pressing issues such as community engagement, the balance between being a mother and pursuing a career, and the evolving landscape of code enforcement leadership. The WLCE 2024 conference is more than just a gathering; it's a celebration of progress, a testament to the resilience and strength of women in code enforcement, and a beacon for future leaders. It's an opportunity to connect with peers, learn from pioneers, and be inspired by the collective wisdom and dedication of women shaping the future of code enforcement and building regulation. Discover strategies to maximize your conference experience, engage with thought leadership, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue about diversity in professional settings. Whether you're attending #WLCE2024 or supporting from afar, your engagement matters in driving forward the conversation and actions toward inclusive leadership. 👉 Read Our Blog for tips and templates to make the most of your conference experience: https://lnkd.in/eHFB8XGQ #WLCE2024 #WomenInLeadership #CodeEnforcement #BuildingRegulations #ProfessionalDiversity #InclusiveLeadership

What Defending Looks Like: Sponsors work to confirm, create, or change a person’s or audience’s perception of and behavior toward a protégé. Sometimes that external party already has a positive view of the protégé, and a sponsor simply provides further confirmation of that impression. In other cases, the sponsor can create a positive view of the protégé by introducing them to the external party, using the protégé’s association with the sponsor to seed the relationship. Anyone, regardless of how much power they hold, can sponsor others by confirming a positive impression or creating one by introducing them to an external party. But changing other people’s opinions of a protégé by defending them from criticism is something that is best done by sponsors in positions of power.

📣 Call to all leaders: Be part of the journey or risk being left behind https://lnkd.in/d-FcUT3f The Market Research Society (MRS) EDI Changemakers, Christina Lai 賴浩賢 赖浩贤, Tom Richer, Katya Des-Etages and Shivonne M. Gates PhD., took to the stage at the MRS Annual Conference in March to share their stories of the actions they have pioneered to drive #inclusivity and positive change. The session was hailed by those who attended as ‘the most inspirational session at the conference, however, the conversation quickly turned to how few senior leaders were in attendance. ‘The EDI Changemakers did an incredible session, the most inspirational thing I’ve heard today, and it was the worst attended. It can’t just be that the allies turn up. Everybody’s got to become an ally. It’s a damning indictment of how few senior leaders were listening to that session… we’ve got to change that dynamic.’ – Georgina White @ Holland & Barrett 👉 Watch the full session and read the follow-up opinion piece from session chair, Dr Mark Thorpe @ Truth Consulting https://lnkd.in/d-FcUT3f Josephine Hansom, Nikki Bower, Danielle Todd, Babita Earle (FMRS), Jane Frost CBE, Sinead Hasson, Rebecca Cole, Christine Hemphill, Megan Cross, Sam Curtis, Shazia Ginai, Shazia Ali, Louisa Wedderburn #edi #equality #diversity #inclusion #leaders #changemakers, #inclusionmatters, #ediupdates, #EDICouncil, #marketresearch
