One in four women in business makes it to the C-suite, where all leadership decisions are made. For women of color, that number drops to one in 20. The 2023 Women of Color conference hopes to change some of those grim statistics.
Donna Cole is the Founder, President and CEO of Cole Chemical, a company she started at the age of 27. She will be one of the conference speakers and says there is clearly a lot to do.
“Fifty percent of the women-led businesses that are starting, there are 1,800 a day,” she said. “Half of them are women of color. Therefore we feel it is very important that we advance business techniques and skills as well as leadership.” View the very impressive list of speakers and details of the conference here.
