Walden University Presents a Live Webinar: Improving Credibility: The Importance of Increasing Gender Equity in Leadership

REGISTER TODAY

Join us for an interactive webinar in honor of Women’s History Month. Montrece McNeill Ransom and Brianne Yassine will discuss structural sexism as a determinant of health, the history of women in the public health workforce, and the state of gender inequity in the public health workforce in the time of COVID.  The heart of this program will be a discussion of how inequity in the workforce impacts the field, and ways to increase diverse, intersectional representation in public health leadership for the benefit of current and future generations of public health professionals.

 Speaker: Montrece Ransom
