'When She Speaks' - Women in Leadership Series October 16, 2008

Our October 16th program is entitled "Women Leading Innovation?"

'Innovation' is today's buzzword - considered integral to an organization's culture, its competitive advantage. As women rise in leadership positions in the Bay Area, how are they approaching and defining the question of culture and innovation? How have they successfully navigated the challenges of advancement in today's dynamic and diverse corporate environment? What is their advice to the rest of us?

Join us for this inspiring discussion where our panelists will share their leadership success stories and how they use their unique approaches and perspectives as women to guide and influence their organizations. Our panel will include:

* Facilitator Barbara Hagin, Breakaway Communications, LLC
