Atlanta (November 30, 2012) — LittlePINKBook.com, the No. 1 digital platform for career women, hosted its 8th Annual Fall Empowerment Event on Nov. 13, 2012.

The executives on the panel candidly answered questions related to their career paths to the C-Suite. Glenda Umaña, anchor at CNN en Español, was the event’s moderator. Read LittlePINKBook.com’s “Top 10 Takeaways” for favorite thoughts shared by the three panelists:

Our team believes the sharing of their experiences will help in the efforts to increase the presence of women in the C-Suite.”
