Description
Black Career Women, Inc. (BCW) is proud to announce our sponsorship with Harvard Business School Publishing of an important and timely virtual seminar, “Keeping Your Most Valuable Women in Your Workforce.” This live, interactive event features Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of Off-Ramps and On-Ramps: Keeping Talented Women on the Road to Success, Carolyn Buck Luce, Chair of the task force, "The Hidden Brain Drain -- Women and Minorities as Unrealized Assets" and Melinda Wolfe, Senior Vice President Executive Talent and Chief Diversity Officer at American Express.

Program Overview:
Many organizations have become proficient at recruiting top women, and in increasing numbers, women of color, but too few have managed to keep them long enough for them to contribute as much as they could to the firm. With talent shortages looming over the next decade, companies must attract and retain the large number of diverse professional women who are otherwise forced off the career highway.

Speakers

• Sylvia Ann Hewlett who has analyzed the causes of this phenomenon as well as what best practice companies are doing about it. Drawing from her work with organizations such as Ernst & Young, GE, Goldman Sachs, Time Warner and others, she will share practical insights that can help your organization retain talented and diverse women who are a growing part of this valuable segment of the talent pool.
     
• Carolyn Buck Luce, Chair the task force, "The Hidden Brain Drain -- Women and Minorities as Unrealized Assets"
    
• Melinda Wolfe, Senior Vice President Executive Talent and Chief Diversity Officer at American Express.

This interactive program brings one of the world's foremost management and leadership experts right to your facility with practical insights you'll be able to put to use right away. Event participation also includes the opportunity to interact with Sylvia Ann Hewlett, Carolyn Buck Luce and Melinda Wolfe in a moderated Q&A session.
