This September, we’re inviting leaders from Nashville’s top women’s networks and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to come together for a dynamic event focused on employee engagement in social impact initiatives supporting girls and women. This summit is an opportunity for you to connect with other brilliant thought leaders in the social impact space and learn how Play Like a Girl is leveraging employee volunteers to close the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

You’ll get to hear from visionary thinkers, Play Like a Girl team members, and longstanding corporate partners on how they’ve rallied their employee volunteers around the gender gap in STEM and how it’s impacted their businesses. You’ll get a sneak peek at some of our upcoming programs and events. You’ll also reconnect with some old friends—and make some new friends too!

The event will feature inspiring presentations, a thought-provoking panel discussion, and valuable networking opportunities designed to empower and educate participants on how to drive positive change within their organizations and communities.

By attending the Social Impact Summit, you will have the opportunity to:

• Gain insights from industry leaders and community members,
• Network with like-minded professionals and exchange best practices for engaging employees in meaningful social impact,
• Showcase your commitment to diversity, inclusion, and corporate social responsibility, and
• Discover new strategies for empowering girls and women through employee engagement year-round.
