EmpowHERed: Attaining Success in the Face of Adversity

Please join the Offices for Minority Economic Empowerment and Regional Economic Development for a webinar exploring how women economic leaders in Illinois are driving COVID-19 Relief efforts and economic recovery with an equity lens. According to the Harvard Business Review, Women are Better Leaders during a crisis. One study found that outcomes related to Covid-19, including number of cases and deaths, were systematically better in countries led by women. Women Trailblazers in Philanthropy, Business, and Government will share their leadership stories combating the global pandemic, and offer insights around how Illinois can rebuild stronger. This session will leave business owners and leaders with tangible tactics and strategies around how to lead during a crisis, and lay the foundation for future economic growth, with an emphasis on gender equity.
