Pride in Leadership: Reflecting on a Year of Triumphs and Gearing Up for an Exciting 2024

2023 has been a landmark year for Pride in Leadership, a dynamic network championing LGBTQ+ business leaders across the UK. The organisation, spearheaded by Matt Haworth of Reason Digital and Claire Ebrey of On The Level, has hosted an array of impactful events, featuring a stellar roster of speakers such as Bev Craig, Juergen Maier, Helen Hardy, and Mark Fletcher. Additionally, training sessions led by Sam Malone and Anna Marsden were highlights, offering valuable insights and knowledge.

A notable achievement of the year was the successful launch of a fully funded leadership development programme tailored for LGBTQ+ leaders, underscoring Pride in Leadership's commitment to nurturing talent within the community.

The organisation is set to introduce an array of in-person and online events, including the continuation of its leadership development programme.
