Global Ambassadors
The Women in Wind Global Leadership Program strives to represent the voice of women working in the wind energy industry on a global scale. Our Global Ambassadors are drawn from industry associations around the world, ensuring that they represent the interests of the sector on a national scale.
Global Ambassadors are industry champions of diversity and sustainability, who work in the wind energy sector in their respective countries. They serve as focal points for national communications, strategy and initiatives on gender diversity in wind energy, as well as contact points on this agenda for the public sector, private sector and media. Their representation helps to positively influence the national understanding of gender diversity in energy, and encourage more inclusive work cultures and environments.
Global Ambassadors also collaborate on shared initiatives, in service of a common goal to create a more sustainable future through a more inclusive clean energy sector. Global Ambassadors are not required to identify as women.
