Driving Advocacy: Advocating for Her! 

Speakers: Jamal Lucus, Altria; Clark Adrian, Altria

This session is all about how we are better together because “Strength lies in our differences…not in our similarities”. Our unique strengths and abilities are a competitive advantage…and we all win when the best ideas are brought forth and put into action.  In this session, we will explore these topics:  

• What we mean when we say “Advocacy”
• The Business Case for Advocating for HER
• The Advocacy Spectrum 
• Recognizing & Mitigating Unconscious Bias

This session is NOT intended to “fix” anyone. It is also NOT where all the women point their fingers and tell others they need to do better.  What this session IS about …is ALL OF US taking steps forward to ensure the best people and ideas are welcomed, supported, and advanced.
