WV Women Moving Forward Virtual Summit

Description

Register today to participate in the West Virginia Women Moving Forward Virtual Summit on September 14, 2020.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to upend the work and home lives of women worldwide, join us as we discuss women’s issues in the face of the economic crisis and how we can engage all of society to step up and take a shared responsibility for meaningful, lasting change.

National and statewide trailblazers along with key supporters of economic equity will share compelling stories, innovative solutions, policy ideas and inspirational ways to support and empower women to come out of this crisis stronger and more resilient than ever. A particular focus will dial in to balancing work, education, dependent care and family needs. Workforce flexibility and the need to address equal pay for equal work will also be discussed.

Sign Language Interpreting and TypeWell Transcribing are available by request for participants who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. To request an interpreter or captioner, please contact Jason.Kapcala@mail.wvu.edu at least 72 hours prior to the start of the event.

The virtual summit is free and open to the public. Event agenda and additional details are forthcoming.

Organized by: WV Forward, the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation, West Virginia University and Marshall University
