INDIANAPOLIS — The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) will present the program Economic Empowerment: Developing Leadership Skills for Decision-Making, Governance, and Policy parallel to the 61st session of the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women (CSW61).

About the STTI-presented program:
Governance decisions within organizations — corporate, governmental or non-governmental — are critical to the future of women. However, women are rarely represented when these decisions are made. Because these decisions impact women economically, socially, professionally, and domestically, it becomes vital women have a strong role and voice within these organizations — a voice, in fact, in governing these organizations.

During this session, speakers will address the importance of women serving in leadership positions and board of directors governance roles in all sectors.

DATE: Friday, 17 March 2017

TIME: 12:30 p.m.

LOCATION: Salvation Army International Social Justice Commission, 221 East 52nd Street, New York, NY, USA

Kimberly Harper, MS, RN, Chief Executive Officer of the Indiana Center for Nursing

Rita Wray, MBA, BSN, RNC, FAAN, Founder & CEO of Wray Enterprises, Inc.
