To mark International Women’s Day, the Connected Women ERG is hosting a featured panel discussion: "Lift as You Rise: The Career Power of Giving."
This free event is designed for women and allies at every career stage who are committed to workplace equity.
In every woman’s career, moments of generosity—whether it’s offering time, advocacy, visibility, sponsorship, or resources—can change the trajectory of a career. Yet the impact of “giving” is often underestimated, undervalued, or unevenly distributed, especially for women whose contributions frequently go unrecognized or uncredited.
Join us for an interactive and thought‑provoking conversation exploring how intentional acts of giving generate meaningful progress for women and for the systems we work within.
This event will leave participants with practical strategies, inspiring examples, and a renewed understanding of how intentional giving helps build a more equitable workplace for women—one action, one opportunity, and one person at a time.
