ACCA and International Women's Day
Events held across the global network
05 Mar 2007
ACCA is running a number of events to coincide with International Women's Day on 8 March.
Events include a Business Lecture (ACCA UK) delivered by Ruth Badger, who appeared in the BBC series The Apprentice, and an ACCA International Women's Day Lunch (ACCA Ireland).
ACCA has one of the highest proportions of female members among professional bodies and in 1909 became the first professional body to open its doors to female accountants. In 1980 it was again the first international accountancy body to elect a female president.
Today almost 50% of ACCA's members and students are female.
