Featuring Guest Speaker
Business Strategist Julie Gilbert
A visionary business entrepreneur and innovator who helps companies drive sales, Julie Gilbert has spent her career developing industry-changing strategies and creating financial growth from ideation to scale. As she sees it, and has demonstrated for companies like Best Buy where she helped reinvent the $40 billion consumer electronics company and increase its female revenue by more than $4.4 billion in five years, the greatest opportunities to see revolutionary growth are sitting right in front of you: your employees, consumers and communities.

Join the Women’s Fund and its grant partners in a panel discussion about leadership. According to Business Week, in most studies involving 360-degree feedback, women leaders are considered either equally or more effective than their male counterparts. Then why aren’t there more? And, why do many female leaders of color feel they have to be “150% as good” just to break even with their white male counterparts? Learn more about how leadership, gender and culture influence social change.
