We are proud to announce that our networking event series "Women on the Water" is back in 2021. The first event will take place on 20th January 2021 via Zoom.

We are delighted to announce that Rachel de Bont and Scarlett Barnett-Smith from the Port of London Authority will be discussing how "making small changes can achieve a big difference". Rachel and Scarlett will be sharing their best practice examples with the group.

What "Women on the Water" aspires to:

• Encourage more diversity in the inland waterways sector, including the tidal Thames, by providing networking opportunities for women in operational roles.

• Support all women in the sector through knowledge sharing and mentoring.

• Position the industry as an attractive career choice for women.
