Chair: Lucy Davis

I have had a role helping to advocate for women’s ministry in St Alban’s Diocese for a decade, following the failed vote on women in the Episcopate in 2012, and have been involved with NADAWM ever since. As Chair, I have the privilege of enabling an extraordinarily gifted group of DAWMs from across the country to network with each other, sharing good practice and policy, picking up common concerns, and inspiring each other to help women flourish in our own Dioceses. The NADAWM network has a huge amount of wisdom and insight for the wider Church, and my job is to make sure that voice is heard for the sake of God’s mission to the world.

Vice Chair: Jenni Beaumont
I’m vicar of the benefice of Tonge, Rhodes and Alkrington and have been Bishop’s Advisor on Women’s Ministry in the Diocese of Manchester for two years.

My role is to ensure that all women in ministry can live out their calling across the breadth of the Church.

Secretary: Catherine Shelley

Currently the vicar of Todmorden, Walsden and Cornholme, in the Calder Valley and Adviser for Women’s Ministry for the Huddersfield Episcopal Area of Leeds Diocese. 

I have served since ordination as a curate in Manchester, Chaplain to Birmingham University, held PTO in London and Southwark whilst working for the church as a lawyer and was a parish priest and Area Dean in Southwark Diocese. 

As secretary I hope to bring my diverse experience of ordained ministry and legal background to enhance NADAWM's work at national, regional and Diocesan levels. 

Treasurer: 


Communications: Laura Jorgensen
I'm Rector of St Botolph without Aldgate in the City of London and Dean of Women's Ministry for the Two Cities area of the Diocese of London which covers the Cities of London and Westminster, Marylebone and Paddington. One of my focuses is how we can ensure diversity of appointments to the breadth of roles.
