Groups are typically self-forming. They comprise people of power who have the ability to lead, influence and affect change. They come from a cross-section of organisations and sectors to tackle specific and relevant gender equality issues. They include leaders with both track records in advancing gender equality and those who value the opportunity to learn from others.
The focus is often on engaging leaders of large workforces or influential organisations in society where new ideas and initiatives, once implemented, can help build real momentum for change. Other Members, such as consulting firms, provide networks and expertise in analysing issues, developing change frameworks, and advocating for the advancement of women at the highest levels.
Importantly, all Champions of Change must have the willingness and commitment to listen, learn and visibly lead on the issue and be accountable for their progress. Groups do not tolerate free riders.
