Get a First-Hand Look at the Landscape of Women Leaders in Michigan's Top Companies

February 4

Inforum's upcoming breakfast to release our biennial examination of women's leadership progress in Michigan public companies will feature a panel of West Michigan leaders who will share what they've learned about the challenges and opportunities for women at the highest ranks of corporate leadership.

Since 2003, Inforum has been measuring the presence of women leaders at Michigan public companies and releasing the results in the Michigan Women's Leadership Report. The 2020 report, conducted in collaboration with Wayne State University's Mike Ilitch School of Business, will highlight how Michigan-headquartered companies compare to national trends.

Join us at this informative event to learn the most up-to-date trends in corporate leadership and hear the insights of women directors on local public companies. You'll also learn what private equity and venture capital firms value in board members for their portfolio companies.
