What is the mission of the WCF Women’s Council?
In line with ICC’s commitments to diversity and inclusion, the WCF Women’s Council works to increase the participation of women in WCF and the global chamber network more broadly.
The WCF Women’s Council promotes and facilitates:
access to leadership positions in chambers of commerce;
candidacies and, subsequently, election or nomination of women in the WCF General Council; and
best practice sharing among chambers of commerce to empower women in entrepreneurship.
