Event Description

Featured Speaker:
Joan Williams
Followed by a candid panel discussion on men and
the need for workplace flexibility. Panelists include:
Eric Berger, Deloitte & Touche, Gary Phelan, Esq.,
Cohen & Wolf, PC, Matt Schneider, Co-Organizer,
NYC Dads Group, and Daniel Hekman, Administration
for Children and Families

Privileged women don’t “opt out” of good jobs—they
are pushed out. And opting out is not an option for
many working families. RESHAPING THE WORK-FAMILY
DEBATE: Why Men and Class Matter, written by the
author the NY Times called “…the rock star…” of the
field, shows how adding men and class to the discussion
is the key to progress on work-family balance.
