Join GPCC at April 10 PWA focused on women in STEM
Join GPCC at the April 10 Professional Women's Alliance luncheon to hear from Professor Jenny Weitz, Paradise Valley Community College's Honors Program Director. She will share her journey breaking into the STEM field.
On Tuesday, March 13, Jodi Liggett, Vice President of Public Affairs for Planned Parenthood spoke to a room full of Valley professionals at the Professional Women's Alliance (PWA) luncheon. She kicked off her remarks by telling the audience that as a Republican and as a Catholic, she never thought she would be where she is today, working and advocating on behalf of Planned Parenthood. Liggett's story is one that shows that no career path is a linear line. In fact, it's usually quite the opposite.

Nearly half of all workers in the United States are women. Nearly 10 million businesses which collectively contribute $1.4 trillion dollars to our economy are owned by women. And, by age 29, approximately 34 percent of women have earned a bachelor's degree. By comparison, only 26 percent of men will have done the same. The future of our economy and workforce is female.
