Women's Leadership - from a Faith Perspective

Women’s Leadership - from a Faith Perspective is coming to the MultiFaith Centre at the University of Derby on Tuesday 24 November, from 10am to 3pm. It's a conference that looks at how belief, values and lived experience shape the way women lead, and it's open to people of all faiths and none.

The day is built around guest speakers sharing how their own faith has influenced their leadership roles, with time left over for discussion, reflection and networking. The line-up includes Rev'd Canon Romita Shrisunder, Louisa Wass-Griffiths, Jo Bishton, Keerat Virk and Dr Fatima Eltinay, so you'll hear from several different voices and perspectives rather than just one.

The venue itself is the MultiFaith Centre on Kedleston Road, which they describe as a safe, friendly space for University of Derby students and staff and the wider community to explore and practise their faith, with quiet rooms for reflection, meditation, prayer and study. The conference is also part of Interfaith Week 2026, a national focus on strengthening interfaith relations and raising awareness of the country's diverse faith communities, so it fits into a wider conversation happening across the UK that week.

It runs from 10am to 3pm, and tickets are £5, which includes a light lunch — booking is essential. You'll find it at the MultiFaith Centre, University of Derby, Kedleston Road, Derby, DE22 1GB.
