Men with Momentum

In 2021, Momentum brought together a cohort of 38 men for six sessions—once every other month—for 90 minutes, to talk about equity and inclusion issues. Participants range from senior executive vice president to line team leader. 

Topics have included the following, with a primary focus on gender—they covered race and ethnicity as well: 

• Mentoring
• Sponsorship
• Bias

“Our intention was to get as embedded in a company as we could so we could continue moving the needle for women in the workplace. Our ultimate goal is to help men have the conversations they want and need to have, and to continue to move women forward in their organizations.” 

Andrea McCaskey

At the Momentum Conference, you’ll find a Men with Momentum track.

There will be a closed session for the end of the current cohort and the beginning of next year’s cohort. 

All conference participants are invited to an open session on authentic and inclusive leadership.

EXPO Hall
