Please join us for a rooftop reception and panel discussion on how young women can succeed in today's working world.

Progressives have largely dominated the conversation about politics and public policies with young people, particularly with young women. But it doesn’t have to be that way: Conservative policy reforms would be a boon to young people, including young women.

The Independent Women's Forum and The Network of enlightened Women offers the Working for Young Women Agenda to help young Americans achieve their dreams by creating the conditions that promote a fairer, more dynamic society with greater opportunity and more freedom for people like them.

In this panel we will discuss:

  • College Costs and Student Loan Debt
  • Workplace Flexibility
  • Equal Pay and Combatting Discrimination
  • Childcare

Light bites and libations will be served.
