About the Netherlands Chapter
As the Netherlands Chapter, our aim is to make a lasting positive impact, to expand our chapter and to ensure that we thrive by being a KPI driven team. We believe in the power of F2F events around gender equity, driven by strong engagement and interaction.
What some of our Chapter Committee members say:
- “LEAD Network offers me the opportunity to bundle powers with like-minded industry colleagues, making a positive impact by contributing to a more inclusive and equitable workplace. Through the different offerings we aim to drive diversity and inclusion while fostering professional growth.” Florine
- “Driving a change in the FMCG industry when it comes to a more diverse and inclusive workplace, requires more than just individual or a company effort – it lies in the power of collective action. That’s why I choose to volunteer for the LEAD network, as that is the strength of the network: bringing companies together, to collaborate, share insights, get inspired, and support each other in this journey.” Willemijn
- “It’s a fact that a safe environment & diverse workforce increases productivity, engagement & creativity. By volunteering as committee member of the LEAD Chapter in the Netherlands I strive to contribute to more equality & inclusivity within FMCG companies.” Kiki
- “For me, LEAD is about raising awareness, learning together, and building meaningful relationships through the network. By connecting and growing together, we can make a significant impact on creating a more equitable workplace for everyone. I’m excited to be part of this journey.” Kayleigh
- “I joined LEAD because I believe in the power of collective minds, mutual willingness and the magic that can happen when a diverse group of individuals come together to create a positive movement to embrace and elevate the diversity and inclusion in our workplace.” Stephanie
