During this event we will honor and celebrate leaders who have dedicated their lives to championing equity for women and are unwavering in their commitment to ensuring fundamental and systemic change at all levels.

MEET OUR PANELISTS

Our panel conversation at the luncheon will focus on the interconnection between the issues facing working women—including paid leave, caregiving, pay equity, access to education, job quality, and more—and how no single advocate or organization can do this work alone. To truly ensure women’s economic security, we must be ALL IN, working together to drive solutions across issues and sectors in order to sustain change.

At The Working Lunch, we will also honor people and organizations who have used their power to open doors, crash ceilings, and create fundamental and systemic change. Stay tuned for more information on our Champion and Emerging Power Builder honorees!
