Jo Field’s election for a 4-year term was confirmed at Women in Transport’s Annual General Meeting held today (13 May 2021).
Women in Transport members also elected five new Board Members from within the membership, including Marny Moruzzi as Vice-President.
CIHT would like to congratulate Jo and Marny on their elections to these important leadership roles. It is great to see Fellows of CIHT being recognised in this way and we look forward to continuing our close work with them and the whole team at Women in Transport.
Commenting on her appointment as President, Jo Field said:
“It is an honour to become President of Women in Transport and I would like to thank our members, Board and Chief Executive for putting their trust in me.
“I am a passionate campaigner for gender equality and I bring this energy and expertise to the role.
“I look forward to advocating for Women in Transport and boosting our connections with industry employers, parliamentarians and government to enable us to create positive change for our members and ensure we have an even greater voice on the issues that matter to us.
“As the transport industry recovers from the pandemic, there has never been a more important time to ensure gender diversity is central to policymaking and that a gender-balanced workforce is involved in the planning, design, construction and delivery of services to enable the industry to build back better.”
Jo Fields will be speaking at CIHT's 'Future of Transport - The Importance of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion' event on 19 May, 2021. As part of an all-female panel, Jo will present and discuss ground-breaking research on the perception and experiences of women in transport.
Newly elected Vice President, Marny Moruzzi said:
"Women in Transport has been a constant support, a hub of knowledge and collaboration and a trusted and valuable network to me.
“In my career I have held various roles spanning traffic operations to major transport infrastructure projects including High Speed 2 and Lower Thames Crossing and I’ve been fortunate to get to know many of the Women in Transport Board Members, members and leaders past and present along the way.
“As Vice President, I will draw on my varied experiences and knowledge to support and help lead Women in Transport in progressive and forward-thinking ways."
