WEB Virtual Series: Advancing Women to Achieve Parity in Leadership
2020-09-23 13:30 - 15:00 UTC
Women in the built environment must break through what keeps them from advancing. Equality within executive leadership and management is where women across our industry should be headed. For example, nearly half of the engineering classes are women and a larger portion of entry-level spots are being filled by women. The time to work on advancement issues is now.
You’re invited to this limited-invitation virtual event with keynote speakers Sandra Benson, WW Head of Engineering, Construction and Real Estate for Amazon Web Services and Nancy Novak, CIO of Compass Datacenters. These monthly virtual meetings will lead up to the second annual Women Executives in Building Summit on May 5-6, in Nashville, TN.
Who Should Attend: All female C-Suite executives in the building industry, from association executives to women–owned and operated trade businesses.
Event format: This month we will have Nancy Novak, Chief Innovation Officer, Compass Datacenters and Sandra Benson, WW Head of Engineering, Construction and Real Estate for Amazon Web Services as the keynote speakers. They will share statistics and their message on how we can move the needle and continue to place more cracks that glass ceiling. This is also an opportunity for conversation with other C-Suite female executives in a safe, thought-provoking environment.
