A conversation with Sylvia Ann Hewlett, DeAnne Aguirre, Noni Allwood, and Rosalind Hudnell.
Want to learn what leading-edge companies are doing to recruit and retain talented employees? Interested in what strategies you can use to get onto the “on-ramp” of career success while maintaining a vibrant work-life balance?
Please join us as Sylvia Ann Hewlett and these three prominent female executives discuss “Hidden Brain Drain” research findings and strategies to overcome it. The “hidden brain drain” refers to the common experience of highly qualified women and minorities who are compelled to either involuntarily leave the work force or languish on the sidelines as their talents are not employed adequately. The discussion will focus on emerging best practices to counter this phenomenon from leading companies such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Cisco Systems, and Intel Corporation that are staunching the "brain drain" and realizing the potential of women and minority managers and executives.
Sylvia Ann Hewlett is the founding President of the Center for Work-Life Policy, where she also directs the “Hidden Brain Drain” task force. She is also Director of the Gender and Policy Program at the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University. DeAnne Aguirre is Senior Vice President in Booz Allen Hamilton's San Francisco office and is the global leader of the firm's Organization and Change Leadership practice. Noni Allwood serves as the Senior Director of Worldwide Diversity at Cisco Systems. Rosalind Hudnell is the Director of Diversity for Intel Corporation. She is also on the national advisory committee for the Digital Divide Clearinghouse and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Committee on Opportunities in Science.
Co-sponsored by the Stanford Center on Ethics, the Clayman Institute for Gender Research, the Faculty Women's Forum, and the Graduate School of Business. This discussion will be followed by a reception sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton.
Reception to follow: RSVPs necessary.
