E4Women Webinar Series
E4Women is a Webinar series produced by ACMA designed to educate, empower and activate younger generations of women of color–especially women of Asian American and Pacific Islander descent–who aspire to pursue pathways in entrepreneurial business and seeking personal growth.
In each Webinar, we will explore different topics including media, business, film. A distinguished panel of experts in these fields will discuss methods, technologies, and strategies for success, as well as share their personal experiences as women of color in pursuit of their dreams.
The first E4Women in Media Series is co-sponsored by the Korean Women’s International Network (KOWIN) San Diego Chapter.
