Women in Racing (WiR), in partnership with the National Stud, will host its first panel event at the historic stud on Friday, July 17.
Featuring a panel led by the National Stud CEO Anna Kerr, the event will bring together people from across the industry for networking, discussion and shared learning within the stud's idyllic surroundings.
Highlights include a panel discussion examining the different forms leadership can take; the importance of lifting others; and the role each individual can play in shaping a more inclusive and supportive industry. The programme also includes opportunities to connect with fellow attendees over lunch, as well as an exclusive tour of the stud.
The list of panelists is as follows:
- Anna Kerr, CEO of the National Stud
- Linda Nguyenova, founder and CEO of KONEKTT
- Zoe Elliott, head of careers marketing at the BHA
- Sophie Buckley, owner of Culworth Grounds Stud
- Naomi Mellor, CEO of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association
- Eileen Harte (host), therapeutic coach
WiR chair Cheryl Caves said, “Leadership is about far more than a job title. It's about influence, confidence, advocacy and creating opportunities for others. Join us at the National Stud in Newmarket for a day dedicated to exploring what leadership means in horse racing today, and how we can encourage, support and champion more women to step forward and lead in their own way.
“Whether you hold a senior position, manage a team, or are simply looking to make a difference, this event will challenge traditional ideas of leadership and celebrate the impact women have across every level of racing.”
The cost of the event is £35 to members of Women in Racing and £45 to non-members. To find out more or to book tickets, click here.
