You are cordially invited to the “Women, Empowerment and the Growth and Expansion of the Middle Class across Asia” panel discussion from 6:00-8:30 pm on Tuesday, April 18th in Malloy Hall 129. The last 30 years have experienced one of the greatest transformations in human history as nearly all Asian nations have seen the increasing movement of individuals and families from poverty and marginal economic participation into the middle class and global economy. With increased educational opportunities and technical training as part of the story, the growing participation of women in the workforce has been one of the most important drivers of prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. The event promises to be a fascinating discussion focusing on the rapid transformation within the region and the role of women in enabling that transformation. The panel includes a group of female business leaders with diverse experiences, backgrounds and insights into the Asia-Pacific region. The discussion will be moderated by USF adjunct professor Dr. Bruce Pickering and the event is hosted by the USF Center for Business Studies and Innovation in Asia-Pacific (CBSI) and co-sponsored by GlobalSF. Refreshments will be provided. Please register in advance for this free event through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/595024182347
