Purpose, Power, Parity: How We Will Reach Gender Parity in Leadership by 2025
In 2020 the USA will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th amendment, writing women’s right to vote into the Constitution. That was a huge step. But just the first step, as #metoo, the pay gap, and the fact that women still make up under 1/4 of top leadership in every sector make clear. Until we reach parity in power, pay, and position, we’ll keep fighting the same battles over and over. Are you ready to take it to the finish line?
Our host committee Loreen Arbus, Gloria Feldt, Suzanne Lerner, Nancy O’Reilly, Ari Afsar, Donna Deitch, Kathy Eldon, Keli Goff, Victoria Pynchon, Corky and Mike Stoller invite you to learn exactly how we reach leadership gender parity by 2025.
When: Tuesday, October 29
Time: 6:30pm
Where: Address provided upon RSVP
Special Guests: Comedian Maysoon Zayid and singer Ari Afsar
Take The Lead (R) was born five years ago of cofounder Gloria Feldt’s bold intention: the vision that parity in power, pay, and position will create a healthier, more prosperous world for men and women alike—the courage to declare that we will reach parity by 2025–and most importantly, the ACTION to make it happen with unique research-based programs that we’ve proven to be effective in elevating women’s intentions and giving them the tools and supportive cohorts to lead their dreams while leading the needed systems changes.
“Life changing” is the most frequent comment from participants. “Jet fuel for my career,” “I’m not afraid any more.” “I now know my path and have the tools and plan to get there.” “Changing from power over to power TO was like an awakening.” “I got the job/raise/investor/recognition/policy change...”
Come see how Take The Lead achieves these powerful breakthroughs and how you can be part of this exciting mission.
Join us on Tuesday October 29 to be part of a powerhouse gathering dedicated to achieving gender parity across all sectors. Together, we’ll enjoy a special, intimate VIP guest appearance by the incredibly talented actress and comedian Maysoon Zayid, hosted by the incomparable Loreen Arbus. We will also enjoy a special guest performance by pop singer and Hamilton alum Ari Afsar.
You’ll also have the chance to experience first-hand the fruits of Take The Lead’s leadership programs, and hear how, together, we can advance solutions for equal power, equal pay, and equal leadership. Learn about how our our signature 50 Women Can Change the World in media and entertainment, nonprofits, healthcare, and journalism are accelerating women’s careers while building cohorts of women who support each other and together are changing the culture in their professions. And how we together can scale up these powerful programs and extend them to other sectors such as tech, entrepreneurship, and financial. There is nothing we can’t do—together.
There's no ticket price but you are welcome to donate as you are so moved to help make gender parity in leadership a reality by 2025, not 70-150 years from now as predicted.
