The Institute for Women’s Policy Research was thrilled to host a gathering of women leaders and supporters of gender equity for a dynamic event in the Hamptons last week!

Our event brought speakers together to highlight the change that is needed for achieving gender equality for women and girls. The event consisted of three panel discussions and a convening of thought leaders to ask the question: How do we accelerate change and progress for women?
