About At the Table:
Getting a seat at the table isn’t easy for women, especially as gender diversity among top executives remains very low. What obstacles might women encounter along the way? What barriers have to be overcome? What are some hard lessons learned? How do we stay authentic to our beliefs in a male-dominated business environment?
At the Table, a premier program by the Foster School of Business, gives students the chance to meet female CEOs and executives in an informal, small-group environment. Learn about their career paths, their companies, and what it takes to succeed as female entrepreneur and business-owner.
Join us in May for a conversation with Deanna Oppenheimer, Founder of CameoWorks and Fritzky Co-Chair.
