AboutCAA offers the Women in Leadership Scholarship to encourage more women to step into leadership roles and to support the further development of current women leaders in ambulance health services. The Scholarship was formed through the CAA Women in Leadership working group, who sought to address the challenges and adversities for women in ambulance health services by encouraging leadership development and mentoring.
