Women’s Leadership Series: Shaping the Agenda May 5 from 12 - 1:30 pm at CIEE (300 Fore Street)

Traditionally, women leaders do not define themselves by the positions they hold, opting instead to affiliate with the cause or the meaning of their work. In such a context, women rely upon their innate abilities to influence and build collaborative relationships that work toward a common cause. In organizations that work within hierarchies and politics, this can take time and dogged persistence. It can be inefficient and frustrating, often frittering away time, talent and, ultimately, money. Today there is a clear call for more women leaders to aspire to positions of authority – those roles that would have them shaping the agenda, creating the culture and moving organizations forward faster with innovative solutions and yielding higher returns on talent and investments.

Join us to discuss how women are stepping into leadership roles more assertively and with more conviction and authority than ever before, as a means to serve the advancement of women and business. Bring your friends and colleagues! These brown bag lunch events are free and open to the public.
