The Front Line of Change: Women Leaders and the United Nations
6 June 2021 @ 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM EDT
Free
Wouldn’t you like to meet the women leaders of today – the ones creating new trends? Women are changing both the United Nations’ and the world’s approach to diplomacy, hunger and food production, the response to the refugee crisis, and much more. They are creating critical policies and partnerships to confront complex and challenging issues.
CTAUN (The Committee on Teaching About the United Nations) invites you to a special presentation featuring women from the United Nations and select NGOs who prove that leadership is a timeless skill that includes both the vision for change and the ability to carry it out. You will hear these dynamic leaders discuss their vision, goals and action steps for confronting current global challenges.
Many influential women will appear. They include:
- Michelle Bachelet, The High Commissioner for Human Rights
- Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications
- Gillian Sorensen, former Assistant-Secretary-General
- Ismahane Elouafi, Chief Scientist-The Food and Agriculture Organization
