Women leaders will have a special place during this years Summit, a special side-event being organised by Women-leaders Section at Managers’ Asso- ciation of Slovenia with H.E. Kolinda Grabar- Kitarović, President of the Republic of Croa- tia.

“Women are still insuffi ciently represent- ed in senior leading positions where deci- sions are made. The percentage of women on supervisory boards (15%) in Slovenia is only slightly higher that the European aver- age (14%). However, the level of women in government is as low as 8%, which is much lower than the European average (26%). Luckily, positive trends may be seen.

In 2004, 10% of women were on super- visory boards, in 2014 there were 15%; in 2004 24% of managerial positions were held by women, in 2012 27%”.
