The National Council for Research on Women

Presents

Building a Pipeline to Women’s Leadership

Monday, February 28, 2011, 3:00pm – 5:15pm

Hosted by American Express, 200 Vesey Street, New York City Sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb Please join the National Council for Research on Women and our panel of visionary leaders as they explore the uneven progress women are making both educationally and in their career trajectory:

• The number of women leaders has stalled at 11%-18% across sectors, and in finance and STEM fields, it is much lower. • Today, women receive the majority of Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees, but not in all fields, such as in STEM disciplines, economics and finance. • The promise women and girls display in the classroom is not translating into key decisionmaking and leadership positions in their careers.

The Council has invited thoughtful leaders in both higher education and the corporate arena to share their vision, insights, strategies, and the action steps for unlocking women’s and girls’ potential in all fields of study and careers.

Featured Speakers Include: Ed Gilligan, Vice Chairman, American Express Annalisa Jenkins, SVP, Global Health, Bristol-Myers Squibb Ruth J. Simmons, President, Brown University
