Young\, CEO\, Women Business Collaborative\n\n\n10:05 AM Driving Inclusion: Women’s Leadership in Artificial Intelligence  \nAs artificial intelligence continues to impact leaders and organizations\, it’s important that inclusion and equity are considered in every facet of decision-making.  And it is critical that women play a deep role in making decisions that shape the future of artificial intelligence in companies and in business.

Companies with women in leadership are known to grow faster\, generate more revenue\, and achieve higher stock prices. They also tend to have a more diverse employee base which contributes to a happier workforce\, further benefiting the bottom line.

If companies do not have strategies in place to retain and develop women in the workforce\, women will continue to exit the workforce at alarming rates. Join our panel to learn more about how businesses can work to better retain women and develop them for future leadership roles through leadership development\, sponsorship\, allyship\, and inclusive organizational cultures. \n\nDr. Debra Clary\, Founder & CEO\, Elavescent\nDina Fifadra\, Director\, Amazon Business\nLaine Gandy\, Director\, Adecco Group US Foundation\nGemma Toner\, Founder & CEO\, TONE Networks\nModerated by: Gwen K.

As organizations work to create inclusive cultures\, it is critical that they recognize the unique multitude of lived experiences for women of color across racial identities.  In this panel\, speakers will discuss how companies can elevate more women of color into positions of leadership. \n\nNabeeha Kazi Hutchins\, President & CEO\, Population Action International (PAI)\nGail M.

At the same time\, being intentional in communicating a company’s purpose creates an inclusive culture that aligns the values of the company with the sense of purpose for its employees. Join our speakers to hear more about how organizations are transforming their policies and practices to achieve their purpose. \n\nMelyn Campbell\, Chairman of the Board\, FINMO\, LLC\nKimber Maderazzo\, Board Director\, MadBeauty LLC\nMargaret Resce Milkint\, Global Insurance Practice Leader\, Diversified Search Group\nRachel Talton\, CEO\, Synergy\nModerated by: Sharon Reynolds\, CEO\, DevMar Products LLC\n\n\n3:15 PM Closing Remarks \n\nEdie Fraser\, WBC Chair of Board\nFelicity Hassan\, WBC Board Secretary & Founder and Executive Talent Consultant\, TheFind\nMichael Norris\, WBC Board Chair Development Committee & CEO\, Urban Legacies\nGwen K.
