At Clark Schaefer Hackett, we believe in the power of progress. Yet, according to the World Economic Forum, achieving gender parity—equal pay for equal work—could take 134 years, spanning five generations. That’s far too long. Through our committee Advancing Women in Leadership (AWIL), we are taking actionable steps to raise awareness, advocate for change, and take action to close the gap. Because when we empower women, we create stronger businesses, more innovative workplaces, and a more equitable future for all. Change starts with awareness, advocacy, and action. How will you help #AccelerateAction? Let’s break barriers together. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #SheMeansBusiness INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY (MARCH 8)
