Ms. J.C. Hayward, the first woman news anchor in the Washington, DC, market, will be this year’s featured speaker at An Evening Plenary on Gender Issues: Discourse and Dessert.

Ms. Hayward joins the list of illustrious guest speakers who have addressed ADEA members through ADEA’s Discourse and Dessert over the past 17 years. All ADEA members are invited to engage in dialogue with this great communicator, who will discuss women’s career trajectories and variations on their paths to achievement.
