CONNECTIONS

Accelerating Gender Parity

The Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association (HBA) leads the Gender Parity Collaborative— a forum for healthcare companies to address systemic and environmental issues hampering gender parity progress. Collaborative companies work together toward a shared goal of not only increasing but accelerating gender parity within their respective organizations. The Collaborative has been recognized as a driver for advancing systemic diversity, equity and inclusion progress in the workplace and was recently honored with a 2020 Power of A Summit award by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE).
