Suburban Lunch - #MeToo Roundtable: One Year Later

The New York Times published a well-sourced story alleging systematic sexual harassment by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. This article would prove to be the spark that lit the #MeToo and TIME’S UP era, and today’s heightened level of scrutiny over harassment and the exploitation of power differentials in the workplace. During this session, thought leaders will have the opportunity to connect, look back over the past year and discuss what has changed, what hasn’t changed, and what changes they see on the horizon.
