Why should I attend: Instead of a boring hours-long conference, we are centering “Fempire” around fun and energetic conversation! The journey of speaking up and finding our voice is one that many of us have in common. This conference is meant to address this shared experience and start the dialogue on how we can overcome it. We’ll hear from a diverse range of women on how they’ve been able to have these courageous conversations, invest in women’s ideas, and how they’ve advocated for their own ideas to be heard.

Besides having a fun morning with fantastic people, I am most excited about our speaker line up. We will have Nancy Mahon, Chief Sustainability Officer at Estee Lauder Companies, and Mary Ellen Iskenderian, CEO of Women’s World Banking as our keynote speakers. Our panelists come from a wide range of companies including but not limited to: RFK Human Rights, Black Farmer Fund, ClaimDeck, and Root & Seed.

This event is hosted by Yale SOM’s Women in Management Club
