Women in Finance
Date: 17 November 2016 18:00 for 18:30
Type: Business and Industry, Career and Personal Development, Social and Networking
Organiser: NEYCAG
Three times as many female members take career breaks compared to males. This can result in disengagement with the profession and loss of talent from the sector. Gender diversity in the workplace is fundamental to business success. Research has shown that companies with more women in leadership positions are more profitable and more efficient.
On Thursday 17 November, the North East Young Chartered Accountants Group (NEYCAG), in partnership with Nigel Wright and PwC, are hosting a Women in Finance Seminar.
The event aims to provide an “off the record” and informal opportunity for female members of the North East Young Chartered Accountants Group (NEYCAG) to hear about the experiences of senior female finance professionals.
Following brief introductions from the speakers, there will be a talk show style discussion addressing a range of topics.
