GAIA AFRICA Announces Final Call for 2025/2026 Member Season as Applications Close February 15

GAIA AFRICA, the continent’s premier private members’ club for women leaders, has entered the final weeks of its 2025/2026 Member Season, with applications closing on February 15 2026.

The current member season, shaped around The Unbowed — GAIA AFRICA’s storytelling series spotlighting the lived experiences and leadership journeys of some members — reflects the depth, ambition, and shared values that define the GAIA AFRICA community.

Speaking on the final phase of the season, Olatowun Candide-Johnson, Founder & CEO of GAIA AFRICA, said:

“At GAIA AFRICA, every member strengthens the fabric of who we are, a powerful community of women who lead with purpose, authenticity, and depth. As we welcome a new season of prospective members, The unbowed series offers a glimpse into the extraordinary GAIA women , and the power of community when women gather intentionally.”

Membership at GAIA AFRICA offers access to a purpose-built environment designed for connection, collaboration, and elevation. Members benefit from leadership development initiatives, cross-industry relationships, business and investment opportunities, and culturally resonant programming — all within a safe and refined space created for women who lead.

Through ‘The Unbowed’, audiences have gained a rare glimpse into the calibre of GAIA Women
— women whose stories of resilience, reinvention, and excellence reflect the ethos of the community itself. As the season draws to a close, the series underscores what membership represents: belonging, access, privilege and the power of purpose.

Applications for the 2025/2026 Member Season close on February 15. Submissions
received after this date will be put on the waiting list for consideration during the next member season.. To apply: click here
