Joan Armatrading, President
|
In this current climate, when we are told it is becoming harder for women to break the glass
ceiling and that women are not engaging with other women who aspire to succeed, Women
of the Year is proud to celebrate all of the women who buck those trends.
Today we have a room full of women who are encouraging and encouraged by the success of
others and that list grows year on year.
I am constantly amazed at the accomplishments of women. Each year we see new faces at the
Women of the Year lunch - women who have pushed the barriers just that little bit further in
all areas of work and really excelled in this Olympic year of sports.
Putting the lunch together is a team effort and I would like to express my thanks to the directors,
committee, nominating council and the trustees of the Women of the Year Foundation for their
invaluable contribution to the Women of the Year organisation.
The lunch has been celebrating the achievements of women for over 50 years: long may we
continue to be proud of our wonderful feats and not be embarrassed to take that one day a
year to highlight the outstanding triumphs of women.
I look forward to meeting the exceptional women of 2008.
Joan Armatrading MBE
President Woman of the Year
