Making room at the table for women requires more than pulling out a chair. How can we empower women to not only make room but create opportunities?

We spend time balancing emotional intelligence with ambition and drive throughout our careers and lives. But those two buckets are not mutually exclusive. We can have it all if we find collaborators and work together to help one another RISE. 

The importance of cultivating opportunities for women to empower other women cannot be overstated. It plays a crucial role in breaking the cycle of inequality that has historically disadvantaged women in various aspects of life. This includes areas such as the workplace, education, and opportunities. By supporting and uplifting each other, women can help create a more level playing field and build stronger communities. When women work together, they are able to achieve shared goals and overcome obstacles more effectively. This leads to greater collaboration, empathy, and understanding between women, which can have a positive impact on society as a whole.

Join IAW San Diego on Thursday, March 23rd, to learn how women can continue to build other women up in life, and business, to increase the voices heard and empower one another for more representation and greater achievement.
