February 25, 2020 / Washington Athletic Club 11:30 AM Registration & Networking / 12:00 -1:30 PM Luncheon & Discussion
The promotion of the role of women is a significant policy priority for both the U.S. and Japan. Both countries are committed to furthering gender equality in the workplace and women's full participation in our societies by working together in various platforms. Join our speakers for lunch and a very important discussion on how we can empower women in the workforce.
International Women's Day is March 8! Help us add to the conversation that is celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while looking at how we might make our parts of the world more equitable.
