Fresno State women’s basketball head coach Jaime White will be the keynote speaker at Empower Her 2024, a networking and discussion event on gender in business leadership, from 2 to 4 p.m. April 26, at the new executive classroom, MBA @ Campus Pointe (3006 E. Campus Pointe Dr.).
White will discuss the challenges faced by female leaders and the opportunities for young women to pursue leadership positions in business, athletics and other fields.
Empower Her 2024 is the first event produced by the Craig School of Business’s new Gender and Leadership program, which will prepare students to manage and overcome gender disparities in the workplace. In addition to White’s keynote address, the event will include breakout discussion groups, opportunities for students to network with business professionals and information on how students can apply for the first Gender and Leadership cohort starting in fall 2024.
The event is free and open to the public, and parking is free in Campus Pointe lots. Business professionals and Fresno State students interested in addressing gender disparities in the workplace are encouraged to attend.
The Gender and Leadership program was supported by Conaway Geomatics, Meridiam, Portfolio Advisors and PricewaterhouseCoopers in developing Empower Her 2024.
