PR Council Announces The SHEQUALITY Project

March 10, 2017 Paul Kontonis

The PR Council is proud to announce a new initiative, aptly named The SHEQUALITY Project, designed to help women executives rise in the ranks of public relations agencies. SHEQUALITY aims to create a consistent pipeline of strong female leaders, mentors and allies, to engender more women leaders and equality in the top positions at PR firms of all sizes.

The initiative was sparked by female board members of the PR Council who would like to see their peers achieve success by sharing the tools, knowledge and pathways to help them reach their career goals.The SHEQUALITY mandate is to build women’s skills, advocate for an environment of equality regarding gender pay, career opportunities, financial backing/funding and creating more champions for women in the PR workforce.

Specific activities under The SH EQUALITY Project’s umbrella are regional networking dinners, workshops and events and content creation to raise awareness and educate others on the topic, including the video above produced by the film team at Weber Shandwick.

Financial management and operations for rising female executives

2. “Owning & Navigating the Room” - August 2017

Perception of women in leadership, personal branding and unconscious bias
