While women are now more likely than men to pursue higher education, they are not equally represented in workforce participation or in leadership. In this talk Tami Foreman, Communications Executive, Campfire Consulting, will discuss the different kinds of power, why it’s important for women to have and wield power in a variety of institutions and what we can all do to support women in gaining that power.
