EVENT DETAILS
According to a 2019 leadership analysis in the Harvard Business Review, women outscore men on 17 of the 19 capabilities that differentiate excellent leaders from average or poor ones. Emerging data suggests that female leaders across the globe have outperformed their male counterparts in managing the pandemic.

The evidence shows that leadership qualities are inherent in women. But women continue to be underrepresented in executive roles. Why is that? We'll dig into this disparity at LMHQ's October Women's Breakfast, where you'll hear from a panel of experts who have spent years understanding, recruiting & teaching women how to harness their leadership capabilities & step into positions of power. Representing public policy, government, business & more, our speakers will help you increase your confidence & encourage those around you to do the same!

Speakers include:

Amelia Abrams, Chair of the Board for 21 in '21
Umbreen Bhatti, Director of the Barnard College Athena Center for Leadership
Dr. Esuna Dugarova, Policy Specialist, United Nations Development Programme who leads their COVID-19 Global Gender Response Tracker program
Marya Stark, Co-Founder, Trajectory Women
