Being a state Patron for Women in Print requires significant dedication and motivation, as well as a passion for the industry.

Patrons who thrive in the role usually have the full support of their company, or employer.

It is a volunteer role with a moral and ethical responsibility to pursue the growth and opportunities for others.

The role comes with enormous reward, both in personal growth, and the large vibrant network of professional women you will come to know, and the professional links you will make at C-Suite level across the industry.
