In July, as part of the HLPF, the <strong>BKMC</strong> and the BKMF<br />
jointly hosted a high-level event at the Austrian<br />
Cultural Forum New York, featuring a stellar panel of<br />
women leaders coming together for a cross-sector<br />
discussion on “Inspiring Female Leadership for the<br />
SDGs”. Moderated by CEO Monika Froehler, women<br />
leaders from government, the private sector,<br />
philanthropy, and academia debated how women’s<br />
power must be leveraged to truly achieve the global<br />
goals.<br />
