The Imperial Women’s Network was established in early 2016 under the impetus of Business School alumni volunteers. It's led by a group of dedicated alumni volunteers who work to deliver a series of professional and personal development opportunities for their members. 

"The Network leverages and celebrates the achievements of its community to inspire and support professional development, lifelong learning and support more Imperial women to advance in their careers."

The Network aims to provide a space for peer-to-peer professional and personal networking and support for female alumni, and male ‘advocates of diversity’ who have studied at the College. Read their strategy here.

The Network has a LinkedIn group. Please note this is an alumni group and is different from the Imperial Women’s Club which is for staff of Imperial College. You can also follow the Network on Twitter @ImperialWomens
