ABOUT JOURNEY TO C-SUITE
EVENT ROADSHOW
Women are dramatically outnumbered in senior leadership. Only 1 in 5 C-suite leaders is a woman, and only 1 in 25 is a woman of color.
Journey to C-Suite, presented by Indeed.com, was an event series where attendees could hear real-life experiences and paths to break through ceilings to build a sustainable future by increasing the inclusion of women and other disadvantaged communities in the C-Suite.
This four-stop event roadshow brought our community together in three Chapter Cities and virtually to highlight local women’s journeys in a panel discussion with leaders at different levels of leadership and an expert voice as the event moderator.
Attendees joined us for an engaging panel and networking event to connect deeply and meaningfully and learn from our speakers on how to collectively bring diversity to the top.
