Increasingly, organizations are recognizing that men – especially senior leaders – are in the best positions to advocate for women and other underrepresented groups, and they are harnessing the power of male allies to move their gender and diversity goals forward.
Please join us as we host the Men as Allies workshop presented by Bentley University’s Center for Women and Business on March 20. Our speakers will explain the importance and impact of male allies programs in today’s workplaces, how men can be effective allies, how and why women can leverage their male peers’ support, the variety of strategies companies are pursuing to effectively implement male allies programs, and more. The workshop – grounded in data and evidence-based outcomes – will include a panel discussion with area leaders, interactive exercises, and handouts.
