Executive Women's Forum - Sex, Power, and the Workplace: A Candid Conversation

Please join us for a candid conversation about Sex, Power & the Workplace, a program focused on professional women managing and excelling in the #MeToo era.  We’ll talk about women’s challenges to succeed within traditional frameworks, overcome inherent bias, and be agents of change for themselves and their organizations.  Our panelists with backgrounds in science, finance, technology, higher education, and the law, will lead the discussion—offering legal analysis, practical insights, and inspiration for personal and professional success.  We hope you will be part of the conversation. 

Our moderator for the event is Jeanine M. Gozdecki, an Employment Partner at Barnes & Thornburg with an emphasis on anti-harassment strategies and programs for employers.  Jeanine has spent 25 years representing, counseling and advocating for her business clients in virtually all aspects of the employment relationship.
