On September 26–27, The New York Times will bring together powerful leaders from across industries for its inaugural New Rules Summit: Women, Leadership and a Playbook for Change in Brooklyn, N.Y.
This ambitious conference builds on a year of the Times’s Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting on gender and the workplace – and takes the discussion into the realm of real solutions. The goal is to identify new rules of leadership for a new era — and help decision-makers of all kinds of organizations create inclusive, equitable cultures that empower women to succeed.
The Women and Public Policy Program's co-directors, Iris Bohnet and Hannah Riley Bowles, will serve as working group leaders for the conference. In these roles, Iris and Hannah will facilitate collaborative sessions charged with proposing solutions for creating equitable and inclusive workplace cultures and for closing the gender pay gap. These findings will be published in a special section of The New York Times, inspiring a new playbook for change.
