Eliminating Biases in Portrayals of Women Leaders & Entrepreneurs
 Nathalie Duval-Couetil, MBA, PhD
Society is searching for ways to increase women’s involvement in leadership and entrepreneurship as a means to contribute to the growth of our economy. This involves developing programs designed to eliminate barriers and biases to make organizations and networks more inclusive. This presentation examines the role we all play in determining the best way to create “separate but equal” initiatives directed at women without reinforcing gender stereotypes while doing so.
