Vision Statement:
The toughest thing your organization will ever do is change its culture. And developing a more diverse organization requires change—whether in Japan, the U.S., or elsewhere; and whether a corporate, governmental, or educational organization. While the 2015 ACCJ Women in Business Summit was focused on providing strategies to action for individuals and organizations that make a real difference to women in the workforce, the 2016 ACCJ Women in Business Summit is focused on strategies that encourage an environment of cultural change where those strategies can flourish.
