Please join us for an in-depth conversation about the continuing repercussions the pandemic has had on women. Our speaker, Sheri Scavone is the CEO of the WNY Women’s Foundation, which believes that when women are secure, entire communities are stronger.
The pandemic has exacerbated what has always been known – but has been overlooked – that our society rests on the backs of women, especially women of color. Sheri has some profound questions for us: Why were women disproportionately impacted by the pandemic? Who noticed (hint: we are still missing 2.1 million women from the workforce)? What can we do about it?
