CWEL’s Fall Event Lineup: Bridging the Gender Gap
There’s been a lot of discussion and debate lately about the lack of women in the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Boston and beyond. At Babson’s Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership, we’re addressing the gender imbalance by creating innovative education programs and events to empower women to reach their full potential.
We’re pleased to announce a robust lineup of fall events for entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders of all kinds — both women and men. Full details for all events can be found at www.babson.edu/CWEL
