Throughout the EVENTS FOR CHANGE SERIES, hear from leaders around the
Commonwealth as we discuss pressing topics impacting women in the
workplace - such as power dynamics, ALLYSHIP, or women on boards.
Throughout these conversations, and discussions, we will explore
opportunities to individually and collectively become more engaged in
making a CHANGE.We look forward to welcoming you back to the second
event in the series, as we continue to embark upon “Many the
Miles” and collectively resolve to create the workplaces, and the
world, in which we want ourselves, our daughters, and our daughters
daughters, to thrive in.
_In an era of #MeToo and #TimesUp, join us to take a deep dive into
the initiatives, movements, policies and legislative actions regarding
power inequity and bias impacting people in businesses across the
Commonwealth. Hear from community leaders about how they are combating
bias in their workplaces and the community, and discover how each of
us can take individual and collective action to shift the power
dynamic. _
The purpose of this event is to bring people together to discuss
allyship in workplace (across our communities regardless of gender,
race, LGBTQ, or disability) and determine how we can best use
our relative privilege to advocate for marginalized people and
affect change.
The event will be divided into three sections:
- Making the Connection: Networking with community members
- Education: Learning from industry leaders and discover opportunities
and tools for engagement
- Action: Committing to taking steps to being a better ally in the
workplace
