Feeling stuck? Undervalued and underpaid?


Ready to take your professional leadership to the next level?


Nationwide, women are fed up with the gender leadership gap and gender pay gap. The good news: we’re taking action to break the status quo and lift up all women until gender equity become reality.


Join AAUW in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Women’s Advancement for Empower Boston, an event to provide women with the leadership skills and networking opportunities necessary to succeed in their careers.


We’ll kick off the evening with words of wisdom from a local leader, break into an intensive one-hour professional development workshop, and close out our evening networking with more than 50 young professional women over drinks and hors d’oeuvres.


Agenda:


6:00 – 6:30 pm: Check-in and light refreshments


6:30 – 6:45 pm: Welcome and keynote address


6:45 – 8:00 pm: Breakout sessions (choose one)


8:00 – 8:15 pm: Group recap

Participants can choose to attend either breakout session:

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be equipped with the skills to successfully and confidentially negotiate for what you’re worth.


(2) Develop Your Professional Leadership Action Plan: In this one-hour session, you will inventory your skills, accomplishments, and experience to gain confidence - as well as learn how to communicate your achievements and prepare to advance your career.
