Male IT Leaders: Up Your Allyship

Research shows that when men are deliberately engaged in gender-inclusion programs, 96 percent of women in those organizations perceive real progress in gender equality, compared with only 30 percent of women in organizations without strong male engagement. Attend this session to learn about the crucial role men play in the advancement of women in the workplace. We will discuss how men are the equalizer in the workforce by simply being an ally to women while at work. Learn how men can partner with their female colleagues to advance women’s leadership and equity by breaking down stereotypical, culturally biased barriers. The session covers concepts from the book “Good Guys” by David G. Smith and W. Brad Johnson and is for anybody desiring to up their allyship game. Breakfast will be served. Facilitated by Rod Houpe, Steve Langford, Diane Doersch.
