Confab for Advancing Women in Leadership

ROUNDTABLE

Confab for Advancing
Women in Leadership

Elevating diverse voices and authentic dialogue in health care

Confab is a vital, invitation-only community of cross-industry senior executives sharing the goal of strengthened organizational performance through the advancement of women in health care leadership. Confab convenes a series of virtual sessions and annual in-person gatherings for CEOs and other leaders of any gender in a position to actualize real change, as well as senior executive women aspiring to even larger roles in the industry.

Inadequate female representation in the Board Rooms and C-Suites of health care organizations is especially conspicuous given the disproportionately-high numbers of women in the health care workforce overall and in unpaid caregiving roles, and in combination with their powerful influence as health care consumers and decision-makers.
