You will benefit from an inspiring line-up of successful panelists, including:
Peggy Hardek– A Partner at PwC. She has been with Pricewaterhouse Coopers for over 30 years, and runs the Mid-Central Region Risk Assurance practice. For Peggy, success was not always easy. As a woman, and a single mother during the early part of her career, in accounting, she had to face many challenges in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Dorri McWhorter– CEO of YWCA. After holding several successful positions in the corporate world, Dorri decided to pursue her own ambitions of empowering the women of the Chicagoland area, and is now on a mission to bring the agency into the digital age.
Sobia Ansari– Emergency Physician, Assistant Professor at Rush University, and Activist. Sobia has worked with organizations like International Medical Corps and Konbit Sante to volunteer in Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, and Haiti. She loves being a mother to two boys and a dog, a wife to a talented attorney, and is a physician with a conscience and a passion for action.
Before the Panel, we will have a one hour training session. The objectives of the training are:
· Gender Equality in the Workplace
· Acknowledging Potential Blind Spots
· Challenging Double-Standards
So come join us, learn how to maximize your own potential, explore different careers and roles, expand your professional network, and be inspired by stories of other successful women. We also highly encourage participation from men and interfaith families and friends.
Early bird tickets are $8 and can be purchased through June 16th.
Lunch will be served.
We look forward to welcoming you at the event.
