At The Chamber’s Sept. 3 Women of Prosperity Luncheon, Michele M. Molden, Chief Strategy Officer of Piedmont Healthcare, said she is a great believer in the power of women’s affinity groups and believes they are “so important."
Although such groups began as mostly a social environment for women, that purpose has changed over time, she said, and today they’re all about leadership development. Molden noted that 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies today have women’s affinity groups. “I can’t imagine that’s by accident,” she said, adding that “most of those companies have a business purpose.” She told the women at the luncheon, “You are so blessed to have this environment” that supports women in business. Here Molden visits with Vicki Kaiser, Director of Clinical Innovation & Cancer Program Development at Cancer Treatment Centers of America.
Next week The Chamber will offer some new opportunities for women through our own Business Women’s Network, including Leadership Skills Workshops, Coaching for Business Owners, and Growth Circles based on the book “Lean In” by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.
