30 Sep A Note from New PBWC Board Chair and President, Diana Sroka
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., September 30, 2024 –
Dear PBWC Community,
Thank you for your continued commitment to the mission of PBWC.
I am honored to lead the PBWC Board and help advance our mission to achieve equality together. This community includes individuals with unique backgrounds, experiences, career paths, and definitions of achievement who share a view that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their ambitions on an equitable playing field. PBWC’s vision is to ensure women at all levels are supported in their journey through skills development, networking opportunities, and inspirational experiences.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have sponsor support, coaching from trusted colleagues, many forms of training, and opportunities to expand my skillset and network. Combinations of these have given me confidence to go after opportunities with the belief that I could tackle new and different challenges. I am fulfilled when I can give back and support women in these ways and see them find their own success. Joining the PBWC team and a community of more than 42,000 global professionals across industries and at all levels is incredibly empowering and a way to amplify this impact.
Gathering in May for PBWC’s first in-person conference since 2019 emphatically underscored the significance of our work. Being in community at the beautiful Fox Theatre in Redwood City, California, and celebrating the theme, “Be You!” was both inspiring and energizing – a powerful reminder that our diverse perspectives andcollective voices can accomplish great things.
I believe in the power of many and look forward to expanding our diverse community to unite in our focus on gender equality. Together let us dream big and continue to believe that we can achieve what our founders set out to do 35 years ago. Our work continues, and together We Will…
With Gratitude,
Diana Sroka
PBWC Board Chair and President
