Society of Women Leaders Governance
The Society of Women Leaders and its operations are governed through a structure of volunteer committees led by the SWL Executive Team and the National Advisory Committee and the SWL Executive Team. This structure has been ratified by SWL members and Australian Red Cross, and ensures the SWL model is low cost to administer and allows us to focus on the business we do best: building a truly successful circle of giving.
We have a number of official committees in place. Members of these committees are outlined below.
If you would like to know more about the Governance of SWL or if you would like to apply for a role on an SWL sub-committee, please contact Society of Women Leaders National Chair, Rowena McGilvray.

Red Cross pays our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander custodians of the country where we work, and to Elders, past, present and emerging.
