Pinpoint Stewards will host the 3rd Annual Women & Leadership Conference for Government and SOE’s as part of their “it’s DUE” series: Develop, Unite and Empower. The conference will take place on 1 & 2 November, Lord Charles Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa.

“Pinpoint Stewards aim to profile more women in Government and State-Owned Enterprises, doing phenomenal work-as leaders, delivering on their mandate of service to the public,” says Pinpoint Stewards co-owner Sudhira Sewsunker.

She further adds, that “more than ever South Africa requires more women leaders to step into the spotlight and be an example of sound leadership. Only, by making this shift to elect more women into top positions will we see a transition and progress."
