FWN’s 10th Annual Filipina Leadership Summit: "Global Filipina Women: Power & Influence" A Learning Journey To Filipina Global Power

The annual summit is more than a field trip, symposium or forum. It is a Learning Journey - which immerses us in the reality – and long-range implications – of the politics of developing our career portfolio. These experiences enable us to deepen, accelerate, and internalize our own learning about the business of how to get ahead, assess our current career situation or business, how to advocate for what we want, and understanding the issues that influence Filipina women globally.

Learning Journeys reflect our conviction that the most powerful learning occurs through interaction and sharing of experiences, not from books or speeches. 

“A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.”  - John LeCarre

Food, Politics, Labor, and Social Media LIMITED
Limited Capacity seats available

Food, Politics, Labor and Social Media - a provocative discussion on the four areas that can put the Filipina community on the mainstream business map:

  • Food, Labor and Social Media are the 3 areas that Filipinos are very engaged.  We love to eat and we do things together best when we are at the dining table.
  • The Food industry has a high employee population of Filipinos - who are underpaid and need to find ways to be recognized for their talent.  Ramar Foods is the leading manufacturer of Filipino food and a major vendor to the US military - gives Filipino cusine an opportunity to be mainstream
  • The politics of food - how and what we eat can influence the larger community and the food industry.
  • How social media transforms the way we live and do business - Filipinos are the largest community of Facebook users. Can you imagine the power we wield? 
  • Why Filipina women should be engaged in politics - be at the table when decisions/policies are made that affect our communities and how we live. 
  • What is trending in politics, labor, food and law... more women in law schools, pathways to civic engagement, public service and politics 
  • Labor is the politics of work
