"Special Edition" Executive Women’s Forum: A Casual, Crucial COVID Conversation with Indiana’s Health Commissioner - Dr. Kristina Box

Please join Women & Hi Tech on February 11th, International Day of Women & Girls in Science as declared by the United Nations General Assembly, for a candid conversation with Indiana’s top ranking healthcare official, Dr. Kristina Box. In alignment with the mission of International Day of Women & Girls in Science to “achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and to further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls,” Women & Hi Tech’s kickoff event of 2021 is being offered virtually to promote the advancement and appreciation of female scientific leaders in our community.

In accordance, Dr. Box will present scientific data, facts, and information about the rate and incidence of COVID-19 infections in Indiana, and particularly in Central Indiana and Marion County. Dr. Box will also engage in a casual dialogue with Women & Hi Tech representatives to answer crucial questions from our members about COVID-19’s effect on Hoosiers, an updated status on vaccine development, and how we can all do our part to protect ourselves and others during the pandemic. Dr. Box will further inform us as to any foreseeable national policies from the new administration that would affect Indiana’s distribution and/or implementation of promising COVID-19 vaccine relief opportunities here at home in the Hoosier state.
