SUMMARY:Sponsorship in STEM: Driving Career Advancement for Women
DESCRIPTION:In this engaging and insightful panel\, we explore the transformative power of sponsorship in advancing women’s careers\, particularly in the STEM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics) fields. While mentorship is often touted as critical to career development\, research has shown that sponsorship—the active advocacy of high-potential individuals—plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap to leadership and career growth. \nOur panel of experts will address key topics\, including: \n\nMentorship vs. Sponsorship: Understanding the critical differences and their unique roles in advancing women’s careers.\nPersonal Journeys: Panelists will share how sponsorship has shaped their own career trajectories\, including specific examples of its impact.\nCreating Inclusive Cultures: Strategies for companies to foster environments where senior leaders actively sponsor women in male-dominated fields.\nProactive Employee Approaches: Practical advice for individuals seeking sponsorship opportunities within their organizations.\nOvercoming Affinity Bias: Insights into how leaders can broaden their sponsorship perspectives and avoid unintentional bias.\nActionable Commitments: Real-world steps leaders and organizations can take to drive meaningful change in STEM.\n\nAttendees will leave the session equipped with actionable strategies to create and seek sponsorship opportunities\, as well as a deeper understanding of the cultural shifts required to empower women in technical and leadership roles. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that aims to inspire change and champion equity in STEM. \nFor questions\, reach out to catalystevents@catalyst.org
