Join the Filipina Women’s Network as we celebrate
International Women's Day 2019 at
DISRUPTing SAN FRANCISCO
March 8, Friday • 6:30PM–8:30PM
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women — while also marking a call to action for accelerating gender balance.
Meet the remarkable Filipina authors of the DISRUPT Filipina Leadership Book Series at this inspiring book reading and leadership discussion in celebration of International Women's Day!
Let's build a gender-balanced world. Collectively we can all play a part. Balance is not a women's issue, it's a business issue. Gender balance is essential for economies and communities to thrive. #BalanceforBetter
