International Women's Day 2025: 7 Levels of Male Allyship: Working Together to Create Gender Inclusion (HBA Pacific)

Join the HBA Pacific for “7 Levels of Male Allyship: Working Together to Create Gender Inclusion.” Male allyship is critical in attaining any kind of parity in today’s organizations. Men are a key piece of the DEI puzzle and must support both women and people of color to help close gender and racial gaps in leadership positions. However, men’s commitment spans across a wide spectrum – ranging from complete resistance to all in. There are 7 levels of support which will be outlined in this presentation. The good news is there are several things that men can do to be true allies and move up to higher levels of support. We’ll address how to identify what level men are in, responsibility and accountability at each level, and how women can identify allies based on each level. We’ll also explore how men and women can work better together to create more gender inclusion in our workplaces. Join leadership, diversity, and gender expert, Dr. Shawn Andrews, as she explains the 7 levels of support and how to use these behaviors to help address barriers, be a better ally, and help advance our careers.
