About the Program

Women make up 50% of the population but fewer than one-third of Vice President and C-Suite roles (Source: McKinsey & Company). The Women in Leadership program is an opportunity to connect with other executives and enjoy candid, open conversations about the challenges women face in the workforce, as well as how to support women as they come up through the ranks. This program is designed to help women identify their strengths, develop leadership styles, and overcome any barriers that may be holding them back.
