Aspen Public Radio and the historic Wheeler Opera House announce a partnership to host Money Talks: An Evening of Powerful Stories from Powerful Women in Celebration of Equal Pay Day on Saturday, April 2 at 6:00 p.m. The two local organizations will host a panel-style discussion to acknowledge the history of Equal Pay Day, which raises awareness about the gender pay gap and symbolizes how far into the year a woman must work to have earned what a man had earned the previous year.
The evening’s panel will feature three remarkable local women who will gather to share their stories as women in leadership. These CEOs, company founders, and leaders will explore their own personal experiences around pay equity, the opportunities and challenges they've faced along the way, and how the pandemic has impacted the future of work. The panelists include: Mawa McQueen and Beatriz Soto. The discussion will be moderated by Stacey Vanek Smith, host of NPR’s The Indicator from Planet Money podcast.
