We have come a long way in terms of gender equity. But women in the workforce still tend to earn less than men. Women are still underrepresented in leadership roles. Only 10.4% of Fortune 500 are run by women leaders in 2023. Whether you are a groundbreaking entrepreneur, a seasoned executive, a mid-level manager, or a young professional who dares to dream and aspires to lead this is an event for you. Join us in celebrating women in leadership.

 

In this interactive event, you will not only hear from influential female business leaders from the German American business community about how they break barriers and persevere, but we are eager to hear your stories, opinions, and ideas. Let’s come together to inspire, support, and create opportunities to lift one another. A networking session with food and drinks will follow the panel discussion.
