Ahead of International Women's Day 2021, Causeway is delighted to be hosting an online networking event to celebrate the growing number of successful professional women - from across Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland - in our network.
This event is a follow-on event from the successful Empowering Future Generations of Women Leaders event we held at the Irish Consulate in Edinburgh in 2019, and we are aiming to recreate it, as best we can online, with a panel of speakers to give inspiring career talks and to use breakout rooms for networking.
The theme of International Women’s Day 2021 is #ChoosetoChallenge. A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day. We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world. From challenge comes change, so let's all #ChooseToChallenge.”
