Our AGM for 2013 was held on Wednesday 12th June at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS), Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London.

Following the successful completion of the formal business, members and guests expressed their gratitude and best wishes to Mrs Michelle Bennett, the Society’s Secretary for almost six years, who was leaving her post for pastures new.

After refreshments the guest speaker was Rosemary Feenan, International Director of Jones Lang LaSalle. In her enlightening talk Rosemary gave a fresh insight into urban planning and development. The number of questions asked and the animated discussion afterwards was proof of how interesting and engaging the talk was. Those present gained a new perspective on how cities can work today.

SPTW Spring-Summer Newsletter, 2013

Download Newsletter

Dear Friends of SPTW, 

Our Strategy Group has been considering future developments and funding for the Society. It has recognised that our name SPTW is not easily remembered and recommended that we should find a shorter title. After considerable discussion the Trustees have chosen a new operating name which has been well received. We are to be known now as:

‘Futures for Women’
The work of SPTW
