2023 WOC (1788) 'Windows and Mirrors' in Federal Spaces: Reflections of Career Success at NOAA and the USPTO

As a community, we have grown accustomed to the voices of influence at the proverbial “table” being reflective of very few black women, if any at all. The closer the table gets to the C-suite, the influence of the black female voice diminishes even more.  Raytheon Technologies, a leader with a global reach specializing in defense and commercial markets, is inviting you to an eye-opening panel discussion with RTX female executives on amplifying the influence of Black Women at the table.  There is work to be done and we are being intentional about having our say in ways that will bring awareness, visibility and change to the tables of influence at every level.  Accordingly, our executive panelists will be “having their say” about:  their personal journeys to the table;  tips to encourage black women to increase their influence in impactful ways; how to continue to render that influence in virtual settings; the approach for gaining the sponsorship of those who are already at the table; and the importance of leveraging the influence of black women beyond the boardroom.  The discussion is sure to bring perspective and a basis for action as the panelists are all leaders of influence at Raytheon Technologies and in their respective communities.
This seminar will be a conversation that brings consciousness to the power and significance of Black Women having influence throughout their respective career journeys and community endeavors.  The RTX executive panelists are having their say and we will be listening as they continue to create avenues of success for black women.
