Views and Voices! Men and Women Leaders Debate the Top 10 Issues and Advantages for Women in STEM

Come listen to diverse views and voices as college students, new professionals, and executives take a stand on important issues. Do you think you have heard all of the challenges for women? As we continue to think about racial and gender equality, equal pay, and leadership discrimination, there are new opportunities and obstacles emerging. How are perceptions of women changing? Why are there still so few women leaders in top positions? How can we leverage new opportunities and close gender gaps? Join us for a lively discussion about issues and advantages as we enter into a new and changing era for women.

Learning Objective: This workshop will help you understand the business impact of behavior, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs.
