According to the Commission’s 2009 leadership audit only one in five members of the boards of NGBs for sport is a woman. One quarter of sports have no women in board positions. While almost half of all staff in NGBs is female, just 22% of Performance Directors and only 20% of senior management teams are women.
Underrepresentation of women at a senior level means sport is largely ill-equipped tounderstand and engage with 51% of the population. More women want to play sport, but the way in which sport is led means it is failing to capitalise on the opportunity to grow grass-roots participation and enjoy greater elite success.
