INTA to hold events marking International Women’s Day
– Last week INTA’s Women’s LeadershIP Initiative released a report and best practice toolkit to empower women in the IP field to develop strong leadership skills and advance their careers. In the run up to International Women’s Day on 8 March it has revealed further plans to call for greater representation and advancement of women in IP by hosting events around the world. It will hold virtual discussion forums, entitled Championing Women Leaders: The Road Forward, in various time zones. Facilitated by women leaders, the one-hour forums will discuss the implementation of best practices to foster career advancement and leadership opportunities for women. Meanwhile, later in March the association’s virtual What’s Next for Brands: A View from Europe Conference, will include table topic discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), work-life integration, and culture exchange. Additionally, on 30 March and 13 April, INTA’s Brand & New podcast will focus on the legacy of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, including an interview with Professor Jane Ginsburg, an IP scholar and the daughter of the late Justice.
