PWN Paris Summer Newsletter
Dear members, dear friends,
The first half of the year comes to an end, the period of rest and family and friends’ reunion finally begins. These few months have been particularly upsetting and stressful. We hope that despite everything you are in good shape.
During this period, the network has resolutely decided to continue to stay in touch with you by transforming our activities online allowing you to continue your reflection on your career path. We have been praised by the press for our agility in reacting and innovating.
Despite the delicate period we have just gone through, gender equality is making progress. As a founding member of the 2GAP collective, we have taken action with former Deputy Minister Marlène Schiappa. PWN Paris will be part of the jury for the Prix National de l’Entrepreneuriat Féminin. We will tell you more about it this Autumn.
A lot remains to be done, as the reports of the UN, Makinsey and the BDG show. As an international multi-sectoral renown professional network, with 700 members, PWN Paris works for a balanced and fair society. Gender equality must become a reality as a core human right.
The back to school period will start with a rich agenda and proposals for virtual and physical events, if the sanitary context allows. Please mark your calendar for our most important event of the year, our Congress entitled "Talents and Gender Balance" to be organized on October 7 at ESCP Europe.You may also save the date for the award ceremony of the Prix Entrepreneure Responsable (PERbyPWN) supported by BPI and Les Echos Entrepreneurs organized on October 13.
As of this summer, you will be able to test our new platform and website. We have decided to change based on your feedback in order to get a more user-friendly tool that will allow you to easily get in touch with other members of the network and to get involved by participating in our events. Our wish is that you feel good, inspired and strengthened to make your professional choices, to grow, to imagine your career, to commit yourself further. We are all actors in our lives. Our collective engagement in favor of a more balanced society is crucial and starts by taking control of our professional career path.
We wish you a very nice and enjoyable summer and look forward to seeing you in September.
Take care.
Françoise Derolez & Marie-Laetitia Gourdin,
PWN Paris Presidents
