As part of our celebration of International Women’s Day 2025, we invite you to join us for this exciting virtual event to discuss the importance and impact of women in positions of leadership within public services, and to hear from them directly about their experiences.
Jordan Binedell, Senior Consultant at Mutual Ventures, will be joined by female leaders including:
-Theresa Leavy, current Interim Director of Children’s Services at Cheshire East Council. Theresa has had a long and impactful career in children’s services, from being an 18-year-old in charge of a group of kids in residential care, all the way through to her role leading Dorset Council's improvement journey as Executive Director of Children's Services.
-Professor Donna Hall, Non-Executive Director at Mutual Ventures. Donna was recently named 4th in the top 25 thinkers in local government by the Local Government Information Unit. She is Chair of adult social care provider PossAbilities, having previously been the Chief Executive of Wigan Council and the Chair of Bolton NHS Foundation Trust. Donna pioneered the radical “Wigan Deal” and remains a major voice in public service reform circles.
-Agata Miskowiec, Managing Consultant and leadership team member at Mutual Ventures. Agata is a driving force behind high-impact projects that bridge social care, children’s services, and family justice. Passionate about making a real difference, she not only delivers transformative change for clients but also champions workplace culture and wellbeing, ensuring teams thrive.
We’ll also be looking at findings from our upcoming report on the experiences and perspectives of women working within public services. Join us as we explore the complexities and impact of female leadership as part of the #IWD2025 conversation and consider what’s needed to Accelerate Action (this year's IWD theme) for women in public services today.
