Women and Power: Getting Ambitious About Ambition
February 11, 2011
10 a.m. – Noon
Centennial Ballroom I, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia
Sponsor:Commission on Women in the Profession
Based on numbers, women lawyers are positioned to exercise power and influence and effectuate change. Yet most women lawyers are not exercising power. Women lawyers still represent a small percentage of law firm leaders, general counsel, law school deans and government leaders and earn considerably less than their male colleagues despite being just as productive.
Dr. Anna Fels, a renowned psychiatrist and author of Necessary Dreams: Ambition in Women's Changing Lives will kick-off the program by discussing her research on the drivers of ambition and the powerful social, cultural, and psychological factors that impact women's ambition and their pursuit of power. A panel of powerful women lawyers will then reflect on their experiences pursuing their ambitions. Small group discussions will follow.
