World Trade Centers Partner to Honor International Women's Day  A Seat at the Table: Women in Global Leadership Series Features Powerhouse Women  Diplomats and Business Executives 

Washington, DC (February 17, 2022) – The World Trade Center Washington, DC (WTCDC) and World Trade Center Dublin (WTCD) celebrates the one-year anniversary of A Seat at the  Table – Women in Global Leadership webinar series with a spring slate of influential global  leaders starting with Her Excellency Dr. Thelma Phillip-Browne, Ambassador, St. Kitts and  Nevis on February 22.  

The three-part series will continue with Florie Liser, CEO, Corporate Council on Africa on March  29 and Margery Kraus, Founder and Executive Chairman, APCO Worldwide on April 26. 

The launch of the spring series will honor this year's International Women's Day theme of  #BreaktheBias. Conversations will focus on raising greater awareness about issues impacting  women's equality, celebrating women's achievements and accomplishments, and continuing to  promote a world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. 

"Behind every strong woman is a story that gave her no other choice," said author and  advocate, Nakeia Homer. This quote has served as inspiration for the series and the visionary  women leaders have each personified this message in their roles spanning diplomacy,  international business, trade, and culture. 

Over the past year, thousands of women have taken a Seat at the Table and joined these  intimate and invaluable conversations. Speakers have echoed a common theme—women are  essential for driving economic growth and social change for their communities, countries, and  the world. 

Moderated by author Susan Sloan, the series closely examines the personal perspectives and  experiences of former and current ambassadors, dignitaries and global business leaders who  have made an impact in their respective careers and areas of expertise. Sloan's book "A Seat  

at the Table: Women, Diplomacy, and Lessons for the World" shares the impact of gender diversified leadership and highlights stories from women ambassadors and government  officials. 

Register for the spring webinar series: 

• H.E. Dr. Thelma-Phillip Browne, Ambassador of St. Kitts and Nevis to the United States • Ms. Florie Liser, President and CEO, Corporate Council on Africa 

• Ms. Margery Kraus, Founder and Executive Chairman, APCO Worldwide
