Combat Bias and Champion Equality
Choose to Challenge Series
Inspired by this year’s International Women’s Day theme, Choose To Challenge, we’re hosting a series of workshops, panels, and chats, to rally for women’s equality, question stereotypes, call out biases, and encourage others to commit to forging a more inclusive world. Our goal is to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements as well as to educate our membership on ways they can continue to become better advocates for themselves and others.
From challenge comes change, which is why we encourage you to embark on a journey this March and join us as we navigate these challenges to build a more inclusive workplace and world.
Combat Bias and Champion Equality
To champion change, we must rid ourselves of the unconscious biases that prevent women and minorities from advancing. In this #ChooseToChallenge session, we will be discussing with distinguished women how we can shift our approach to call out biases, both external and unconscious. To build something great, we must revolutionize our thinking.
