Emboldened to Lead: AAPI Women Taking Their Seat in the Corporate Boardroom

How do you navigate the culture, conversations, and expectations of a board as an often overlooked AND underrepresented Asian-American women leader? Be inspired by a dynamic group of Pan-Asian corporate directors that have taken their seats at the corporate boardroom table!

API women leaders have historically been shut out of high-level leadership positions. In this session, you can meet the leaders that are paving the way for others to have more representation and influence.  Our speakers include leaders and corporate directors from Ascend/Pinnacle Leaders and Fortune 1000 companies.  Join us for this important conversation with API women and their allies on how to best support and uplift their voice and influence in the boardroom.
