Just a few quick articles this morning – one woman’s approach to the gender pay disparity – shed some light on it by sharing how much you make with your male colleagues! Read her story here:http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/15/smallbusiness/saadia-muzaffar-womens-circle/
One more reason to care about equal pay for women – the old saying ‘your wealth is your health’ also means that being underpaid has serious health consequences for women. The full story can be found here:http://www.self.com/life/work/2015/03/women-equal-pay-day/
And we have read a lot about venture capital being a man’s world – the same is true in private equity:http://www.pionline.com/article/20150406/PRINT/304069977/private-equity-is-changing-but-still-a-mans-world
We have a terrific line up of events for May. Come out and meet our new committee members and share your ideas for future events! Register early to avoid disappointment!
Kind regards
