The Center for Women and Business at Bentley University was founded in June of 2011 with the mission of enabling women at each stage of their lives, from student to CEO and beyond, to realize their full potential and enable the global business community to successfully harness that potential. Through educational programming and initiatives for both women and men, the CWB will work to transform the attitudes of students and business leaders and influence the institutional culture of corporate and other business entities so that all can reap the economic and social benefits of inclusion and diversity.
 
The Center for Women and Business is proud to announce that we will be hosting this year’s Tufts Health Women’s Leadership Speaker event with Judge Nancy Gertner– Retired United States District Court Judge for Massachusetts and Renowned Advocate,Jurist, Lawyer, Teacher, and Author. 
 
The Center for Women and Business would like to invite the entire Bentley community to see Judge Nancy Gertner speak on October 26, 2011 from 3:30PM – 5:00PM in the Wilder Pavilion.
 
Judge Gertner is a phenomenal speaker and a true role model for all of us looking to become leaders and make a difference in our fields. Her presentation will focus on leadership, holding true to your morals and core beliefs, and the risk-taking it takes to be a leader.
