For the past five years, the AABDC has convened multi-cultural business professionals from all levels – C-suite to young professionals – to tackle topics that are meaningful not just for the mission of diversity and inclusion in the workplace but for engaging and empowering the next generation of leaders.
The Asian American Women in Tech Webinar Series aims to showcase Asian American women in STEM disciplines or industries who can be role models to empower and inspire other younger Asian American women involved in STEM to step out and step up to leadership roles. At the AAWT Webinar Series, the tech field’s impact makers, influential leaders, rising stars and individual contributors will gather to deeply explore and share their insights in STEM disciplines, discuss how Asian American women in STEM can be supported, and identify ways to remove barriers for leadership development for Asian American women in STEM.
