Women face unique challenges in the workplace and during their careers from their specific health realities to disproportionately shouldering caregiving, both as parents and adult children.  These challenges lead to disruptions in their careers that can result in a diminished ability to accumulate the necessary assets for retirement. To address these issues, and much more, we are gathering women in senior leadership positions across business, government, philanthropy, nonprofits and society broadly to pave the way for future women leaders to achieve longer, healthier, more successful, and happier aging journeys – both professionally and personally.  This session will formally launch the WISE (Women In the Silver Economy) Council, a new cadre of women leaders who are stepping up to drive targeted change and help realize a vision of more equitable aging for women at every age and stage of life, health span, and career.
