Weeklong Lineup of Virtual Events Features
Women Leaders and Gamechangers
PITTSBURGH, April 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PNC Bank is proud to announce
its 13th annual Women in Business Week, a
collection of in-person meetings, events and virtual webinars
May 8-12, featuring women who are
leading the way and changing the game in their industries. The
annual event – a focal point in PNC's year-round commitment to
women – is intended to provide women financial decision-makers with
insights applicable to the many financial roles they may play, from
business owners and household "CFOs" to corporate executives.
Virtual programs complement dozens of in-person events hosted by
PNC Bank regional presidents coast to coast, with this year's
lineup featuring engaging and informative speakers, including
Wendy Yuengling Baker, chief
administrative officer of America's oldest brewery; Alison Levine, Mount Everest expedition captain;
Julie Uhrman, co-founder and
president, Angel City FC; and more.
"This year's Women in Business Week events were inspired by the
women gamechangers who continue to leave a lasting impact on
industries such as sports, education, outdoor adventure and
more," says Beth Marcello, head
of PNC's Women's Business Development. "Our Women in Business Week
speakers will offer their motivating experiences and insights on a
variety of topics relevant to financial decision-makers today
through a number of lenses, from the game of women's soccer to
educating children about money management."
Women in Business Week is just one example of PNC's commitment
to continually engage, enlighten, attract and retain women
financial decision-makers as clients and employees. The bank
has supported women financial decision-makers for more than 20
years, and its Women's Business Development practice was officially
established in 2000 to reflect its recognition of the increasing
impact of women as decision-makers and influencers. In 2021, PNC
established Project 257®: Accelerating Women's Financial Equality
to help close the 257-year economic gender gap identified by the
World Economic Forum's 2020 Global Gender Gap Report.
On the frontlines of PNC's Women's Business Development work is
a national network of more than 4,800 PNC-Certified Women's
Business Advocates, men and women specially trained as allies who
women can rely on and trust as they navigate life's financial
challenges and opportunities. PNC also supports numerous
organizations, such as Coralus (formerly SheEO), which mentor and
advocate for women.
Through these efforts and its national main street bank
approach, PNC Bank strives to bring women together through
interesting and informative programming throughout its regional
market footprint and by focusing on financial wellness and
empowerment for customers and non-customers alike. To learn more

Women in Business Week events are free and open to the
