A DECADE OF DIFFERENCE: A FUTURE TOGETHER

Join us to celebrate 10 years of progress in the advancement of multicultural women in the workplace and set the stage for the next 10 years of possibilities. What impact have we seen the last 10 years – on individuals, corporations, and communities? Hear stories, revel in successes, and learn actionable strategies to keep our initiative moving forward.

We’ve been working for a long time – and lately, we are not seeing the progress we’d like to see. What will it take to break through the barriers that still exist? What is the critical need for multicultural women in corporate environments, and what groundbreaking work lies ahead? How can we support one another in the quest, and what is the value of women helping women in the workplace?

Join us July 17 – 18, 2012 and become a part of the solution for the advancement of women.

We are stronger together!
