About The Chair Campaign
What's the campaign?
To remove gendered terminology from job titles starting at the very top of the organisation, ‘The Chair’.
We are starting our campaign with the FTSE 100, by reviewing their company websites.
The call to action
Whilst we obviously want to see a more equal split of gender in these important roles, let’s at least start with making them seem attainable for everyone.
If you work at an organisation with a ‘chair’ role check what it is called and if it has a gender reference, copy the link to this site and send through to the HR team, CEO, or the Chair themselves and ask if they would consider changing.
Look out for other job titles with gender references and bring these to the attention of the leadership team too.
Share your experiences with us through the 'Get Involved' page.
We will review progress on a regular basis and ramp up our campaigning to eliminate the words ‘man’ and ‘woman’ from job titles.
Thanks for your support.

Who is running the campaign?
Liz Crutchley, Founder & CEO, Orange Orchid
Here at Orange Orchid our mission is to ‘Disrupt the System’ we value positivity, boldness & pride. This campaign starts by focussing on the "Chair" role in an organisation, but is much wider, it's about the job tiles we use, the language we use and the expectations we create.
Join me in starting the conversation and creating change!
