We are excited for our guest of honor, Joanne Lipman, to join us next week, November 13, for our next speaker event.

Lipman, JAMen’s first female speaker, is one of the nation's most prominent journalists. A bestselling author and CNBC contributor, her work has appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TimeMagazine, Fortune, Newsweek and Harvard Business Review. Lipman’s No. 1 bestselling "That’s What She Said " offers real-world solutions and a path forward in the wake of the movement. There's no man-bashing here; Lipman explores how men, as well as women, can join together to close the gender gap. Go to shalomaustin.org/jamen to reserve your seat!
