Solihull Chamber is joining forces with four other divisional and regional Chambers to celebrate International Women's Day.

Solihull Chamber, alongside Burton & District Chamber, Sutton Coldfield Chamber, Asian Business Chamber, Solihull Chamber and Future Faces Chamber, all part of the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, will be hosting a joint event to celebrate the day, celebrated and hailed around the world for shining a spotlight on women's issues.

The virtual event will take place on Monday, 8 March from 11am.

Three business, health and media leaders will be discussing women in leadership, and how flexible working practices may need to be adapted following the pandemic.

Satnam Rana (pictured), former BBC correspondent, Sarah Folley, critical care paramedic for Midlands Air Ambulance, and Sheila Brown, chief executive of charity Newlife, will be taking part in the panel discussion.

The event is free to attend for members and non-members of the Chamber.
