Today, Compass Lexecon celebrates International Women’s Day (IWD) and the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year’s IWD theme is #EmbracingEquity. When we embrace equity, we acknowledge the unique circumstances of each person and aim to provide them with the resources and opportunities to set them up for success.
Today we reflect on this year’s theme, embracing equity, and how we can all work collectively to impact positive change. We hope you will join us in celebrating IWD and continuing to #EmbraceEquity in the workplace and beyond.
At Compass Lexecon, we are proud to be surrounded by many inspirational leading women, and this year we wanted to highlight some of our women professionals who have won awards over the past year.
