sandra gordon - directorAt the heart of everything I do is about increasing representation and giving everyone a chance to be the best they can be and to bring balance and equity to those groups who are disadvantaged in our society. My hope is that everyone in Bristol and the surrounding areas have an equal opportunity to benefit and enjoy the fruits of this prosperous vibrant city.
It will be normal to see diverse role models and those in senior prominent positions of power easily visible and reflect the make-up of a changing region. For our young women growing up, not to feel less than you are, or accept less than you are. I am proud to be part of the team implementing a charter that is helping to drive and deliver a gendered balance workplace. Twitter LinkedIn Email |

sonia cohen - OPerations managerDifference has historically been the justification for rules and behaviours. Growing up with Deaf parents, I have always been aware of social inequalities. By day I work as a People Operations Specialist and have developed my career working in people centred roles. Here to support current and new businesses. Each of the Charter's goals is to provide a better working practice for women. Supporting businesses and the employee experience. This has a domino effect on our society. When working with amazing values, it’s easy for me to support signatories and explore the great progress taking place.
