Experts Speak on Women's Leadership Savvy in Emerging Markets
Forum
The question of whether more women belong in corporate
boardrooms is no longer a gender equity issue. It's an economic
growth strategy. This was a repeated theme at the "Women as
Entrepreneurs, Consumers and Agents of Change" forum, hosted
April 13 by the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the Ronald
Reagan International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.
