Jordyn Holman of Bloomberg News opened the event, putting the day\u2019s topics and speakers in the context of a tumultuous year.\u00a0\u201cI’ve spent the past year and a half reporting on diversity issues, which has led me to write and talk about the impact the #MeToo Era has had in the workplace, the emotional toll of the gender pay gap and the falling representation of female CEOs in Fortune 500 boardrooms,\u201d Jordyn said.<\/p>\n

Deirdre Bigley, Bloomberg LP\u2019s Chief Marketing Officer\u00a0and MAKERS board member, reminded attendees of her pledge earlier this year for Bloomberg to create the \u201cdefinitive data visualization on the female candidates for governorships and Congress across the country.\u201d Deirdre proudly proclaimed, “We did it, and it looks great.”<\/p>\n
