Leadership and Diversity Program for Regulators
Monday, May 2, 2022 to Monday, August 1, 2022
Supporting financial regulators to develop policies that close the gender gap in financial inclusion; Building the women’s leadership pipeline in regulatory organizations.
This virtual, 12-week global program, taught by Women’s World Banking and Faculty from Oxford University’s Saïd Business School, implemented together with the Alliance for Financial Inclusion, brings together senior officials (male/female/nonbinary) from central banks and other regulatory agencies and high-potential women from their respective institutions. Each senior official identifies a policy initiative to sponsor at their institution related to serving the women’s market, and will work with their high-potential woman leader to implement it, while simultaneously supporting her professional development during and after the program.
Senior officials are invited to join this unique program for financial regulators at the intersection of leadership development and women’s financial inclusion. The virtual program begins in May 2, 2022.

What happens:
Participants join a series of interactive, live online sessions, individual and group assignments, peer action learning and expert consultation opportunities. Each senior official identifies a policy initiative to advance women’s financial inclusion, and selects a high-potential woman leader from their institution with whom to partner in designing and implementing this initiative.
