THIS IS NOT ABOUT LEANING IN.

HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE SELF? IN YOUR IDEAL SCENARIO, ARE YOU MANAGING A TEAM AT WORK WHILE ALSO MANAGING A FAMILY AT HOME? ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE CHALLENGE OF SUCCEEDING AT BOTH?

OR ARE YOU ALREADY KNEE-DEEP IN FAMILY DYNAMICS, NEGOTIATING FAMILY LEAVE POLICIES, WONDERING HOW YOU'LL PAY FOR CHILDCARE, AND CONSIDERING WHAT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU AS A PARENT?

JOIN LADY BOSS ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH FOR THE ONE CONVERSATION ABOUT WOMEN, FAMILIES AND POLICY THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS – WHETHER YOU'RE DREAMING ABOUT YOUR FUTURE OF BEING A PARENT AND A BOSS, OR YOU'RE IN THE THICK OF MANAGING A FAMILY AND JUGGLING WORK TOO.

WOMEN AND MEN NEED MORE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO SUCCEED, AND DISCUSS HOW THAT CAN ALL BE POSSIBLE.

  SCHEDULE:

 OPENING KEYNOTE – HEAR FROM ELLEN BRAVO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FAMILY VALUES @ WORK, TO DISCUSS THE CURRENT STATE OF POLICIES THAT AFFECT WOMEN AND MEN AT WORK

 PANEL DISCUSSION – MODERATED BY VIVIEN LABATON (MAKE IT WORK CAMPAIGN), IN CONVERSATION WITH SHARON LERNER (“THE WAR ON MOMS: ON LIFE IN A FAMILY-UNFRIENDLY NATION") SIMON ISAACS, (FATHERLY), GEORGENE HUANG (FAIRY GOD BOSS) AND ELIZABETH WEINGARTEN (NEW AMERICA).

 CLOSING KEYNOTE – HEAR FROM A COMPANY THAT'S MAKING FAMILY-FRIENDLY CULTURE WORK WITHOUT GOVERNMENT POLICY SUPPORT

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO RUN A PROGRESSIVE WORKPLACE THAT SUPPORTS BOTH

WOMEN AND MEN AT WORK AND AT HOME?

WHETHER YOU HAVE A FAMILY NOW, HOPE TO RAISE A FAMILY, OR HAVE FRIENDS OR RELATIVES WITH FAMILIES, THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS US ALL.

JOIN  LADY BOSS, AND SHED SOME LIGHT ON HOW MORE WOMEN AND MEN CAN BUILD THE LIVES THAT WORK FOR THEM.
