We are pleased to be hosting this, our third annual event, at the Westin Nagoya Castle on September 13 for a half day of influential speakers and hands-on workshops facilitated by leaders in their fields who are creating change and making space for more inclusive and diverse organizations. Building on the last two years and joining forces with both the Tokyo and Kansai Women in Business Committees, the Chubu Chapter is especially committed to providing opportunities for attendees to communicate, ask questions, and learn useful tools for becoming change makers in their own organizations. How do biases affect our organizations and how can we overcome those that are harmful? How can we create change from the bottom up? How can mentors affect our work life and play a role in organizations? These are just some of the topics that will be discussed.Click here to view the event program. Not for women only, these discussions need to be heard and had by men and women alike if we are to truly make a difference and create inclusion. Please sign up early. Seats are limited and an event like this only happens once a year.
