FLIGHT: The Group for Female Leadership, Innovation, and Growth in Healthcare & Technology.
Created by a group of women at UPMC Enterprises, FLIGHT is a health care and technology focused forum for women, intended to create mentorship and networking opportunities, as well as highlight successful female leaders both inside and outside of UPMC. FLIGHT hopes to create opportunities for professional development and mentorship, cultivate the growth of talented women, and increase engagement of women within the organization.
FLIGHT’s next panel event will be held on December 4, 2018. Registration begins at 4:00 p.m. with the panel beginning promptly at 4:30 at UPMC Enterprises, located at 6425 Penn Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15206. This panel, moderated by Rasu Shrestha, MD MBA, Chief Innovation Officer of UPMC and Executive Vice President of UPMC Enterprises, will focus on female innovators and entrepreneurs working in technology, including:

The panelists will share stories about their journeys to leadership from a female perspective, including the unique challenges they have faced working in male-dominated industries. Following the panel discussion and Q&A, there will be a networking reception with light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments.
