This is demonstrated by representation of nearly 50% or more women throughout all levels of leadership in the organization, including the executive level.  Are you curious to know exactly what is making the difference in those companies?  For this episode I invited Dana Sente, who serves as Vice President, Training and Development for Veris Residential.
