As women increasingly take their rightful seats at the table, Fairchild Media Group is celebrating the women whose vision and leadership fuel fashion, footwear, retail and beauty at its virtual Women in Power event on Sept. 24.
Set to reveal the inaugural 50 Most Powerful Women list, the event, with its promising lineup of speakers— Drew Barrymore among them — and panels will not only honor the highest level of female leaders and their achievements across industries, but also recognize the issues surrounding the scarcity of women in executive leadership, as well as the numerous challenges women will bear the brunt of in a post-pandemic world. Women in power today are our greatest asset to addressing these issues and creating change.
“This past year has been a challenge for women in the workplace. There have been great strides to add more female leaders and board members but there is still work to be done,” said Fairchild Media Group president Amanda Smith. “We are thrilled to celebrate powerful female leaders with a platform to create change and amplify their voices in support of lifting more women into more senior roles across industry. It’s vital that we continue to have the conversations that women can unite around and take action from.”
