Even though over 50% of creative designers are women, they hold just 11% of leadership positions and earn less than $0.80 on the dollar compared to males. Enter Double or Nothing, a movement to confront the ingrained biases existing within the industry. This panel will discuss plans to change the odds for female creatives and help inform other businesses. Discover which programs and policies can help fix the problem and how you can become a champion for accelerating progress.
