This session will be centered around the big topic of Pay Inequity.  Our profession, as most career paths, even when accounting for a majority of females, still has a salary gap that can't be explained by gender alone.  Despite the size or budget of an organization, the level of a position, or even an individual's experience and education level, women still make less than men.  We all know the gap exists, and there are many ways to tackle it. But WHY does it still happen and WHY is it so pervasive?  This is what we are going to focus on and try to answer, as development professionals committed not just to diversity but also to equity, inclusion and belonging.

Anticipated takeaways:

• There are some simple things that we can all do, whether we are hiring, already in a position, or finding a new job that can help to address pay inequity
• Everyone should feel empowered to make change
• Understand what factors perpetuate inequity in our field and what we can do about it
