Women entering the workforce today have a group of pioneering women to thank for the progress that’s been made in regards to career advancement and workplace flexibility – though there’s clearly still much to be done.
To recognize the contribution of women in the 1960s and 1970s, The Women Now Summit is being planned for March 16 in Huntington by The Cinema Arts Centre and the Women’s Leadership Development Center.
The day will include a screening of a documentary film, "Women Now" -- as well as an address by consultant and filmmaker Ellen Cooperperson called "A Retrospective on the Women’s Movement: How Today’s Women Have Much to Be Thankful For."
There’ll also be video interviews with prominent Long Island women, among them:
Linda Lisi Juergens, executive director of the National Association of Mothers’ Centers;
Carolyn Mazzenga, tax partner, Marcum & Kliegman, LLP;
Margaret Krumholz, president, Disc Grapics, Inc.
