Themes include stories about social pressures to assume traditionally female roles, struggles in attaining higher positions in male-dominated work environments, impact of media stereotypes, difficulties balancing family and career life and other challenges unique to women.
The Newcomer Centre's EmpowerHER Speaker Series is designed to attract, develop, and support female leaders in their careers and in their new or growing businesses. The series will host monthly sessions each year and feature feature inspiring leaders and recognized experts discussing their accomplishments, challenges, and insights.
During each in-person session in the series, participants will hear from feature speakers and have time to ask the speaker questions and engage with the network of participants in attendance. This is a welcoming and respectful environment to host conversations about important topics with women leaders and promote action that strengthens the pipeline for women’s leadership in our community.
The series provides opportunities for all members of Edmonton's community to:
- Gain perspective and learn from the experiences of others
- Meet and network with female entrepreneurs and role models
- Expand your understanding of social issues
