This presentation will outline the key factors that are necessary to make an organization’s initiative effective. It will cover challenges that women and minorities face and how organizations can take practical steps to change the culture leading to improved gender diversity in the leadership pipeline. We will explore ways associations can support these efforts for their membership.
