Boston Equal Pay Day Panel and Resource Fair

Women in Boston will work until April 20, 2023, to earn the equivalent of what men earned in the 12 months of 2022. According to the Boston Women’s Workforce Council’s (BWWC) data, Boston women work nearly four months more than men to earn the same pay. To mark Equal Pay Day, the BWWC and the Boston Mayor’s Office of Women’s Advancement (MOWA) are hosting a panel discussion and resource fair that will bring together Greater Boston employers, City partners, and community members to discuss the unique barriers of specific industries in recruiting/retaining underrepresented candidates and identify new strategies and existing resources to bridge the opportunity gaps. A resource fair will follow the panel, where community members can interact with Greater Boston employers, local organizations, and City partners to learn more about job opportunities, job training, and professional development programs. Food and childcare will be provided.

Panelists include:

• Angela Liu, Interim President, Hack.Diversity
• Trinh Nguyen, Chief of Worker Empowerment, City of Boston
• Mary Skelton Roberts, Philanthropic Advisor and Strategist, Board of Directors, Amplify Latinx (Moderator)
• Ron Taylor, Executive Vice President and Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Natixis Investment Managers
