TransPerfect CEO and NYU Stern Alumna Liz Elting to Speak at "Women on Boards" Panel at NYU's 2017 Alumni Weekend

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Liz Elting, Co-Founder and CEO of TransPerfect as well as a tireless advocate for women in corporate settings, will be participating in an informative panel of women business leaders, "Women on Boards," on Saturday, October 21 during the 2017 NYU Alumni Weekend. Hosted by the NYU Stern School of Business, "Women on Boards" will feature well-known Stern alumnae who are currently serving on both nonprofit and corporate boards of directors, helping to guide major organizations in often revolutionary new ways.

Presented by the NYU Stern Women in Business Alumnae Committee from 10:00 – 11:00 AM, this imperative panel will feature an engaging discussion on the importance of women serving on boards and in primary leadership positions in organizations large and small, as well as the unique challenges women in these positions face. As women overall receive less mentoring and fewer opportunities for advancement, this panel will be a valuable tool, offering insight that can help women both strive for and achieve positions of significant authority.

"I am extremely honored to have been asked to participate in such a vital conversation with so many incredible and inspiring women business leaders. This group is truly a testament to just how far we have come over the last few decades. It's critical that we continue to band together to accomplish all that still lies ahead," Elting said. "I am grateful for the opportunities Stern provided me as a young entrepreneur and for the invaluable support of NYU Stern's Women in Business club not only for myself, but also for countless other entrepreneurial, bright young women. The community of women Stern has built continues to inspire me to fight for the advancement of all women in the workplace, to tear down barriers for the next generation, and to find new ways to support women across the globe."
