Cool Women, Hot Jobs

On April 21, CHI Executive Director Carol Bohdan participated in Cool Women, Hot Jobs - Knowledge for the Road Ahead!, a Career Day sponsored by Mercedes Benz at The Young Women’s Leadership School of East Harlem. This all-girls public school and college guidance program was established by Ann Tisch, President and Founder of The Young Women’s Leadership Foundation, to give inner city youth a choice in their education, raise expectations, increase performance and inspire leadership. Approximately 40 women, representing a variety of professional fields, spoke to the students, grades 7-12, about their careers and individual paths to success. The girls were interested to hear the surprising statistics about hearing loss and ways to preserve their own hearing.
