TAF and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) are pleased to have joined forces to champion the role of women in trade associations, celebrate their achievements and encourage the next generation of women into the association sector.
From over 200 nominations we are please to be able to unveil the first WiTA Powerlist that recognises one hundred inspirational women in associations.
