SUMMARY:How History Needs to Play a Role in Creating Thriving Workplaces
DESCRIPTION:Salesforce.org (non-profit arm of SF) hosts a bi-monthly Equity in Action series to educate consulting and product partner companies on advancing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion in communities through their roles as employers and community leaders by building a workplace culture that is aware of the needs to their employees. \nIn the latest episode of #EquityInAction\, you will hear from Anneleise M. Bruner\, the great-granddaughter of Mary E. Jones-Parrish\, who wrote a first-person account of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Although the story is a hundred years old\, elements of its racial injustices are still being replayed in America today. These tragic events and injustices cause an invisible burden on so many\, and it’s crucial that today’s workplace provides a safe place for this trauma. Anneliese Bruner\, along with Ibie Hart\, Associate Director of Business Development at Women Employed\, will guide us through a conversation – from stories to strategies – on how to create a thriving workplace for all.  \nSession Speakers: \n\nAnneliese M. Bruner LinkedIn / Twitter\nIbie Hart\, Women Employed LinkedIn\n\n\nTo RSVP\, click here.

SUMMARY:Federal Reserve Gender and the Economy Conference
DESCRIPTION:This symposium for researchers\, policy analysts\, and practitioners will explore how gender and opportunity influence economic and financial outcomes over an individual’s lifetime – from formative years and early career into establishing households and through retirement. Special emphasis will be placed on evidence-based strategies that remove the barriers to and achieve the benefits of a more inclusive economy\, particularly as the nation moves into a post-pandemic recovery. \nWomen Employed’s Sharmili Majmudar\, EVP of Policy and Organizational Impact\, will participate in the panel for Session II: Education and Early Career – Early financial decisions\, such as opting to take on student loans or choosing a career path\, can have an impact on an individual’s income stability and wealth building over time. Often\, these decisions are made with limited information and/or narrowed options due to cost\, location\, or other factors. This panel will explore how these early career choices can have a bearing on an individual’s employment outcomes and ability to build wealth. \nLearn more and register for this free conference »

SUMMARY:The Pursuit of Equity: Making a Way for Women in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:August is a notable month for reflecting on the pursuit of equality for women. On August 3rd\, we recognized Black Women’s Equal Pay Day—that is\, the approximate day Black women must work into 2021 to make what white non-Hispanic men made at the close of 2020. This wage gap reflects the fact that Black women make 63 cents on the dollar of their white male peers.  \nNear the close of the month on August 26th\, we observe change that was had over a century ago\, in hopes of advancing change today. This day of observance is reserved for Women’s Equality Day—the day in 1920 when our nation granted women the right to vote by passing the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Although it has been more than 100 years since women’s suffrage was achieved\, the fight for gender equality is still ongoing as discrimination and disparities persist.  \nIn its pursuit of creating a more egalitarian world\, Jennifer Brown Consulting (JBC) is honored to partner with Women Employed\, a non-profit devoted to improving the economic status of women and removing barriers to economic equity. And in observance of Black Women’s Equal Pay Day and Women’s Equality Day\, JBC invites you to join Adrienne Lawrence\, JBC Principal Consultant\, and Sharmili Majmudar\, Executive Vice President of Policy and Organizational Impact at Women Employed for their August “Advocacy in Action” conversation on gender and racial equity in the workplace. It will be a riveting and insightful discussion you won’t want to miss.  \nRegister for this virtual event.
