Forum Members Gather in Poland

June 2009

Our forum members met this June in Warsaw, Poland, to share experiences with their women's empowerment programs and discuss potential collaboration. Members Ernst & Young and PriceWaterhouseCoopers also presented their work on empowering women at the "Poland for Women: Women for Poland Congress." The Congress, organized under the leadership of our forum member Henryka Bochniarz of Boeing, attracted nearly 4,000 women from across the country.

The next CEO meeting of the forum is scheduled to take place around the World Bank's annual meetings in Turkey in October.
