International Association of Women Celebrates Women’s History Month with Together We Rise Virtual Summit
March 28 2022 - 8:00AM
International Association of Women (IAW), a business unit of
Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (Nasdaq: IPDN), hosted a
successful virtual summit on March 12, 2022 that attracted more
than 2,000 participants and awarded $10,000 in grants.
In recognition of International Women’s Day and Women’s History
Month, the “Together We Rise” virtual summit was geared towards
inspiring, educating, supporting women, and empowering every
attendee to achieve their greatest level of success. The event
kicked off by keynote speakers Alexandria Butler, Founder of Sista
Circle: Women in Tech and Sylvia Baffour, Emotional Intelligence
Coach and author, setting the tone for building equity in the
workplace and leading with emotional intelligence, followed by 10
workshops and 4 panel discussions on a range of topics covering the
professional challenges that women face .
As part of this virtual event, the company hosted a live
Business Pitch Competition and awarded Dr. Eboni Bell, founder of
Dream Girl Subscription Box a year of Influencer membership and a
$5,000 grant award. In addition, the 2nd annual Dr. Barbara Young
Women’s Empowerment Grant provided five outstanding women with a
year of Influencer membership and a $1,000 grant to be used towards
continued professional development.
“Over the past two years, we’ve watched women lose their jobs,
step away from careers to support their families, close their
businesses, battle Covid, and completely break down,” said Megan
Bozzuto, President of IAW. “As we’ve started to re-emerge, women
are tearing down barriers and teaching companies how to better
support them in the workforce, and we are showing up for one
another in big ways to support each other personally and
professionally. The collective energy we’ve seen at this summit
showed me that our voices, leadership, empathy, and brilliance will
help women continue to make forward progress.”
The shift from in-person to virtual events since the pandemics
allowed IAW to expand its global reach and impact more women. “As
the in-person limitations ease, we are looking forward to hosting
our first in-person Inspirational Influencer Gala later this year,”
Bozzuto said.
