PANEL I TOPICS & SPEAKERS

Beyond the Glass Ceiling

Corinne Bendersky

Professor of Management and Organizations
UCLA Anderson School of Management

“Working women have made significant progress toward equity since the passage of the Equal Pay Act in 1963, but even with the momentum of the #MeToo movement, we have much further to go.”

Dr. Bernice Ledbetter

Dean of Students and Alumni Affairs, Faculty, Organizational Theory and Management Director, Center for Women in Leadership
Pepperdine Graziadio School of Business

“We can change the world – to see what women can bring to leadership roles. My vision is to enable every woman to feel competent, confident, and ready to lead.”

Dee Dee Owens

Partner, Advisory Market Leader for the Pacific Southwest
KPMG LLP

“Women have made tremendous strides in breaking into new roles and challenging the status quo, but we need to continue to push ourselves to focus less on the qualities we may not have but the ones we do.”

Jodie Poirier

Executive Managing Director, Greater Los Angeles
Colliers

“Ambition is not a ‘dirty word.’ Its connotation should not change with gender. Let’s celebrate ambitious women and applaud their success.”

Angela Reddock-Wright

Employment Mediator & Arbitrator
Reddock Law/Judicate West

“My dream is that, ultimately, there are no ceilings or other barriers blocking women – that the sky will be our limit and the world our oyster. Women deserve that. After all, we occupy at least half of the sky.”

The Greater Good

Julee Brooks

Chief Executive Officer
Woodcraft Rangers

“The recovery presents a powerful opportunity to build education systems back better. Public investments can be transformational if we all work together and intentionally in service to children and families.”

Ellen Cervantes

Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
Child Care Resource Center

“My family motto is: ‘Always leave your campsite cleaner then you found it.’ I grew up knowing that my purpose in life is to make the world a better place.”

Elisa Paster

Partner and Co-Chair, Government and Regulatory Department
Glaser Weil, LLP

“The current housing crisis presents us with opportunities to transform our neighborhoods for the better. We must come together as a community to create new housing opportunities, to help those most in need, and to create inclusive and sustainable neighborhoods for all.”

Kate Seitz

Assurance Partner
RSM US LLP

“One of my favorite RSM’s core value is stewardship – simply put, we are responsible for taking every day actions to leave it better than we found it.”

Generational Collaboration

Alice Juarez

Region Bank President
Wells Fargo

“Talent transcends age and experience in high performing teams. Supporting generational collaboration starts by identifying each person’s talents, and enabling them to cultivate those talents.”

Precious Mayes

CEO and President
Pacifica Hospital of the Valley

“The connection between generations are like threads woven in fabric. Each thread brings meaning and purpose to create a collaboration of uniqueness and beauty. All fabric in life is precious and through the glory of God.”

Dayle M. Smith, Ph.D.

Dean
LMU College of Business Administration

“Different generations often have contrasting perspectives, technical expertise and social habits. A manager must harmonize these differences through listening, mutual respect and mix-and-match exposure to unleash the full bouquet of talent.”

Ellen Way

Director of Field Operations
Shangri-La Construction

“As a woman in construction, it’s important to provide all women a seat at the table. We need to validate each other’s ideas and continue to shatter the glass ceiling in this male-dominated industry.”

Katherine Zabloudil

Co-Founder and CEO
The Vertical Collective LLC

“Today we have up to five generations on a single team; we focus on finding the intersection of shared goals and open communication to learn from our different perspectives.”
