Event Description: This will be a discussion based loosely on the arguments made in a relatively new book, Leaning In, by Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook. Sandberg's central argument is that in spite of there being as many women college graduates as men, women in positions of power in organizations seems to be at about the same level (roughly 10% to 15% in business) since the "glass ceiling" was shattered a couple of decades ago. She argues that, while not true for all women, more women should "lean in" to their work to achieve the top rungs in organizations. As well, she places an onus on organizations to be more proactive in pushing women to positions of greater responsibility. Panelists include Susan Gates, Ph.D., Anne Khademian, Ph.D., and Ann Simeone, Ph.D. and the discussion will be moderated by Tom Hickok, DPA.
