Join ACG Boston and the women of New England's middle-market M&A community at a special Women's Connection Luncheon to celebrate women’s history month on Wednesday, March 23 at the offices of BNY Mellon.

While women have made great strides breaking into most industries in the workforce, M&A still lags behind with few women represented in executive positions. You’ll hear from Pam Hendrickson, Chief Operating Officer and Vice Chairman of Strategic Initiatives at The Riverside Company as she shares her experience and advice for advancing in this industry, followed by an open dialogue around how women can continue to pave the way and move the needle for generations ahead.
