▦ Moderator: Peter Young, CEO, Young & Partners and C100 Member

▦ Time: 5:00 pm to 6:15 pm ET, August 15, 2022

This webinar will be the twentieth in a series of events convened by the Committee of 100 that examine the challenges facing Chinese Americans and other Asian Americans with regard to barriers to advancement in a wide variety of professions in the U.S. The goal of this initiative is to contribute to the already significant efforts of organizations and individuals who have been tackling this issue.

This event will be a fireside chat interview of four Asian Americans in the Technology Industry who have observed and experienced the Asian American Career Ceiling problem.

Asian Americans have been very underrepresented historically when it comes to leadership positions in the U.S. Although there has been improvement over time, there is still a significant gap that has not been closed. This is also true in the Technology Industry.

All of our panelists are leaders of prominent technology companies. They will discuss how they dealt with the problem in their careers, what is driving the problem, where they see the issue heading in terms of solutions, and advice they would offer to those in the audience attempting to rise through the ranks.

The interview will be conducted by Peter Young, Committee of 100 member and Chair of the Committee of 100 Asian American Career Ceiling Initiative. The webinar will be one hour and fifteen minutes long. The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions during the last ten minutes of the webinar.

There is no fee and you can register at: https://c100-8-15-2022.eventbrite.com
