Join us for a special Labour leadership hustings

The Young Fabians have joined forces with the Labour Campaign for International Development, SERA and Co-op Party Youth to host the Labour in the World Hustings.

The challenges facing Britain in the modern world demand a Labour Party Leader with a clear vision for Britain - an ethical foreign policy and continued leadership on international development and climate change.

These issues are of crucial importance to Britain and of real interest to Young Fabians and I thought you would like to join us for this important event.

The event will take place on Thursday 9th September in Bristol and you can sign up here

Young Fabians ‘Future of Finance’ Network panel debate
Wednesday 22 September 2010, 6.30pm to 8pm - London Stock Exchange, 10 Paternoster Square, London, EC4M 7LS

Women only represent 5% of executive directors from the 600 companies quoted on the London Stock Exchange, according to recent research by recruitment firm Egon Zehnder. With the passage of landmark legislation in the US aiming to increase female membership on corporate boards and the establishment of the Lord Davies inquiry into female representation in Britain’s boardrooms, the Young Fabians Future of Finance Network will bring together an expert panel for lively interactive debate, including:

Female experiences of developing a career in the financial and business services industry;
Whether a discriminatory cultural environment still exists for women in the City;
What role positive discrimination or other regulation should play in addressing imbalances; and
What the financial services sector can and should do to strengthen female and minority access to the top.
