Women in STEM Summit

Treasurer Goldberg created the Office of Economic Empowerment, led by a deputy treasurer, with the deliberate goal of implementing a range of economic empowerment initiatives that include closing the race and gender wage gap, addressing racial equity, increasing access to financial education, and creating pathways to economically stable futures for all residents across the state.

Please join Treasurer Deb Goldberg and Dr. Zorica Pantić at Wentworth Institute of Technology for a Women in STEM Summit on Tuesday, June 7, from 9:00 - 11:30 a.m.
The purpose of this exciting event is to bring professionals, policymakers, and advocates together to identify the challenges that women and girls face when entering and advancing in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.
Come hear Treasurer Deb Goldberg and Wentworth Institute of Technology President Dr. Zorica Pantić make the case for the need to break down barriers and build a pipeline for women to participate in our state's innovation economy.
The event will also feature remarks from Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III (U.S. Representative for the 4th Congressional District of Massachusetts) and a breakout discussion session moderated by Dr. Yvonne Spicer (Vice President of Advocacy & Educational Partnerships at the Museum of Science's National Center for Technological Literacy), allowing attendees to participate in a group discussion sharing best practices and proven strategies for advancing women in the industry.
