Two upcoming events will highlight women in leadership roles and their trajectories toward those roles.
Women and Leadership Workshop
The Claremont Colleges Women and Leadership Alliance, a joint endeavor to support and promote student programs at the Claremont Colleges that will highlight issues faced by women in leadership in business, government and the professions, will hold its 7th Annual Women and Leadership Workshop on Friday, Feb. 19, 2016.
The workshop will begin at 11:30 a.m. in CMC's Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum with a lunch featuring keynote speaker Dorothy Attwood, Senior Vice President of Global Public Policy for Walt Disney.
A series of topical breakout sessions with female leaders will follow, and then transition to roundtable discussions in CMC’s McKenna Auditorium with professionals in various industries. This event is designed to support all Claremont Colleges students during a time of preparation for post-graduation opportunities and employment, as well as connect students with successful women leaders representing various fields of endeavor such as law, nonprofits, entrepreneurship, finance, consulting, entertainment, education, government service, marketing, and health services.
Sign up for the half-day workshop.
