Since last year’s impactful gathering of over 150 gender warriors from the education, finance, technology, health and law sectors, the North Orange County Community College District is once again hosting a full-day conference with the theme “Mind the Gaps!”
According to the World Economic Forum, the world is still 123 years away from parity across economic participation, educational attainment, quality of health and safety, and political empowerment. Women are still fighting for every inch of progress! The Convening will interrogate a multitude of gaps—wealth, political representation, empowerment, and creative—while focusing on practical ways to move forward.
Hosted by the North Orange County Community College District, the 2nd Annual Women in Power Spaces (WiPS) Convening will examine how women can bridge the gap between where we are now and where we want to be.
