2022 May Moving Forward Together by Empowering Women Through Allyship and Mentorship, PMI OC & SV
Description of Webinar
While last year's event “Breaking through the Glass Ceiling” was a smashing success, the Orange County and SIlicon Valley chapters of PMI have come back together to bring you, “Moving Forward Together by Empowering Women Through Allyship and Mentorship.” This virtual event also brings back two panelists featured from last year’s event, Narmela Sargis and Ramya Kailas! In addition, Kristy Jolstead Carbajal, Priya Kulkarni, & Diana Gonzalez Turczynskyi will be featured panelists at this event. Our panelists will be discussing allyship and mentorship within their workplace and the project management industry.
"In a world where talent is distributed equally among women and men, an economy that does not fully tap into the leadership skills offered ... is necessarily inefficient," says Chicago Booth Professor Marianne Bertrand. "Talent is left on the table when (individuals) are not placed in leadership positions, and the economy suffers."
Join us as women from the Silicon Valley and Orange County chapters discuss how they have strengthened their network and empowerment through allyship and mentorship to advance in their careers. They will recount their professional journeys in the corporate world and, more specifically, in the project management arena.
