The Women’s Economic Summit
Did you know….
- By the year 2010, women will control 60% of the wealth of the US?
- Over the last 30 years, women have filled two out of every three new jobs worldwide?
- 10.1 million firms are owned by women, employ more than 13 million people, and generate $1.9 trillion in sales as of 2008?
Join us for a unique event focusing on the increasingly powerful role of women in the business and economic worlds.
Together, we will explore where we’ve been, chart the progress and influence women have on the world today, and illuminate the economic power of women of the future. You will learn from some of the world’s leading experts on the economics of women, including Alison Maitland, co‐author of Why Women Mean Business‐ Understanding the Emergence of our Next Economic Revolution; Beverly A. Holmes, Chair for the Center for Women’s Business Research; Marie Cocco, award‐winning columnist of the Washington Post; and former Lt. Governor Evelyn Murphy, author of Getting Even: Why Women Don’t Get Paid Like Men and What To Do About It.
And you will walk away with powerful tools and strategies to strengthen and grow your economic influence, both personally and professionally.
