Pamela says, “The CWO supports more women getting involved into public life, whether that’s the voluntary party, public office or public appointments. It's not about quotas for us but shining a light on the brilliant women in our party up and down the country, through a variety of development programmes (for women and men!), conferences and events which bring people together and are a campaigning force to support to candidates across the country." Pamela was awarded an OBE in the 2020 Queens Birthday Honours for Public and Political service. She completed her term as Chairman of the CWO in May 2025 and was appointed to be President in recognition of her excellent service to our organisation.

Susan Coleman

CWO Deputy National Chairman

Passionate about politics, Susan is an active campaigner and enthusiastic mentor to women in her region and wider party. Susan spent her early career as a senior manager in retail for 20 years and then 10 years in local government where her business experience led her into a role as a specialist in business skills gaps - these increasingly were in the fields of Science Technology Engineering and Maths commonly referred to as STEM. There was a noticeable dearth of girls and women in these careers due in part to a lack of role models. Susan attended an event in Parliament designed to attract more women to stand for elected office and she realised that many of the reasons women didn’t come forward to stand were similar to those that held women back in STEM careers and proceeded to immerse herself in the process of encouraging women to stand. She believes that we get a better democracy when our government reflects the make up of the population which is 51% female, currently only a third of MPs are female. She decided to develop the skills and experience to get onto the parliamentary candidates list which she did in 2024. Susan served as CWO Region Chair in the West Midlands for 3 years before becoming a national deputy chair in 2023 and is President of CWO West Midlands. She was elected as a councillor in Shropshire in 2025.
