AWTE appoints Stuart Milan as male ally board member.




Stuart Milan, Riviera Travel trading director, has been appointed as the first male member of the Association of Women Travel Executives (AWTE) board. He will sit on the AWTE's board to help gain insights into women's perspectives and challenges within the industry.

This will include implementing mentorship programmes whereby male leaders can receive guidance and support from male mentors and organise workshops and meetings with colleagues from across the sector to help address gender-related challenges.


Michelle Laverick, AWTE chair, said: "We're delighted to welcome Stuart to the board, as we continue to foster an inclusive and equitable travel industry by bridging the gender gap and championing the unique challenges faced by women in the workplace. Stuart's appointment is particularly timely, as we further strive to create a dynamic environment where male leaders can gain a deeper understanding of issues, promote allyship and actively contribute to a culture of support and equality."Stuart Milan said: "I am absolutely committed to gaining insights into the daily challenges women face and understanding their perspectives. I will be placing a particular emphasis on listening to experiences and feedback, ensuring voices are heard and valued. From a wider perspective I'll actively advocate for policies and practices that promote gender equity, both within my organisation and across the travel industry. Together, we can make a significant impact by further understanding, supporting and championing the cause of women in the industry."The AWTE is a member organisation that offers networking and professional development opportunities to support the careers of women in travel, tourism and hospitality.
