Following her election, Davison said:

“The NUJ has a proud history of international solidarity through our work with the IFJ, contributing 16 presidents and hosting six Congresses over the past 100 years. I’d like to thank delegates for their support and I look forward to working with colleagues from sister unions to ensure that the IFJ remains a strong voice for journalists and journalism around the world.”
