Starting on September 19th, #SISWeek will host exclusive networking events in partnership with Netflix and Walmart. Throughout the week, the organization will be honoring multiple trailblazers in the field, such as Bonita Stewart, VP of Global Partnerships at Google, and Michelle Ward McGee, director of Global Culture at Microsoft.
George also shared how the week of events is especially significant as it provides opportunities for rising professionals to meet with game-changers in the same field. She commented, “This year is special because we are expanding our content to provide solutions to the specific needs of mid-senior-level professionals while also building pipeline opportunities for early career professionals to start with success.”
Sistas In Sales is dedicated to empowering women of color to advocate for their betterment. With the addition of Kerry Washington as keynote speaker, the organization hopes her participation will be a source of inspiration and empowerment for attendees.
