Member-led

For women, by women

A photo of the SWI Board of Trustees sat around a table. On the table there are various stacks of papers and bottles of water.

The SWI is proud to be the largest women’s movement in Scotland and is member-led.

Our dedicated Board of Trustees volunteer their time and expertise to represent the views of thousands of members across the country. They bring passion, experience, and commitment, guiding the organisation’s future and making key decisions. They ensure we empower women, celebrate Scottish culture, and serve communities across Scotland.

Invite one of our Board Trustees to visit your Federation or Institute, attend an special event, or meet with your Office Bearers to discuss key issues affecting members.

Request a Board Trustee visit

Members can request a meeting with our CEO to discuss strategic priorities, membership challenges, or opportunities for members.
