On June 28, Goodwin hosted Women in the Enterprise of Science & Technology for their annual Women of the Future awards and panel discussion. The event provided an active dialogue among the panelists and the audience on gender diversity in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Goodwin life sciences partner and WEST board member Danielle Lauzon handed out awards and moderated a panel where award winners described the secrets to their own success, and shared more about the attributes that they see exemplified by women from the next generation.
