:: On Tuesday, November 7th, 2017, Breaking Glass Forums is bringing together incredible women of color leaders, thought provoking workshop facilitators and committed ally advocates in support of a one-day program designed to help all of us play a bigger game. Participants will engage in deep dialogue, meet future champions and get equipped with practical strategies to not just talk about change but to make change real.
The kind of change that women, especially, women of color, have been striving for their entire lives. Join us at the 2nd annual Women of Color Leadership Forum if you’re ready to activate change inside your organization to embrace more diversity and inclusion in leadership.
“Change is not something we should fear, and we have the tools in us to face it and embrace it.” ~ 2016 WOC Leadership Forum Attendee
