14th annual Women in Leadership Conference at Haas School of Business.
Saturday, March 13, 2010
Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley
The 2010 conference is dedicated to trailblazers -- women who have created their own paths, become pioneers in their fields, and achieved both professional and personal successes. It includes industry panels, issues panels, networking lunch, personal development workshops, networking reception, and 3 keynotes.
YWSE-SF community member Emily Arnold-Fernandez of Asylum Access is a panelist, speaking on the panel "A Growing Industry: Nonprofits in a Competitive World."
This panel also sounds really good - Empowering Women Around the Globe.
Did you know that 70% of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty are women? Or that women perform 66% of the world's work and produce 50% of the food, yet earn only 10% of the income and own just 1% of the property? Studies show that investing in women creates some of the highest economic impacts and largest returns on investment. There are many ways that women can empower and enable other women around the globe. This panel will take a cross-sectional approach to discuss educational, health-related, financial and social avenues of empowerment. During our time together, we will also hear about the inspirations that led our panelists to embark on their career paths and the impacts they have made. Learn about the joys, opportunities, and challenges of women helping other women.
Moderator: Kimberly Dasher Tripp, Program Officer, Skoll Foundation
