Why is 51% of the population female yet women hold less than 3% of all CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know I’d like to see more women hold CEO positions. And my friend Shelli has created a great program for making that come true.
StartUpGirl is a FREE event for girls ages 11-17. They get to learn from some amazing women mentors and have the opportunity to pitch their very own business idea. Three girls will be chosen to receive $3,000 – $5,000 and an online storefront to start their business! No, they don’t win a CEO position, but participating in this may be just what jump starts their career in that direction.
The event is soon – so don’t miss out – for more details visit: www.StartUpGirlEvents.com
