Inforum celebrates launch of Anne Doyle book

Celebrate women who dare to lead, by joining Inforum and author Anne Doyle March 3, starting at 11:30 a.m. at Hyatt Regency Dearborn, for a luncheon to launch “Powering Up: How America’s Women Achievers Become Leaders."

Doyle’s first book is an inspiring field guide that shows three generations of female achievers how to take the next steps toward gaining the focus and the courage required to become leaders

“The United States has become a nation of women Achievers. Yet, despite having legal rights and educational and economic opportunities that most of our global sisters only dream of, American women are Leadership Underachievers,” Doyle said. “I’m tired of the glass ceiling, the mommy track and the good-old-boys network. We’ve been treading water for over a decade as the numbers of accomplished women in the middle keeps growing. It’s time to regain our sense of urgency and begin reaching across generational, economic and racial lines to lift one another into leadership positions.”

“We could not be happier to be hosting the launch of Anne’s book,” said Terry Barclay, president and CEO of Inforum and Inforum Center for Leadership. “Anne is a long-time member and friend of Inforum. She also is a dynamo who knows a lot about fostering leadership and breaking barriers as a journalist, executive and consultant. The women she has interviewed for her book offer inspiration and practical advice that would benefit any woman – or man – who seeks to step up and make a difference.”
