With 100 attendees from over 30 institutions across the world and 13 career recruiters, the inaugural conference made national headlines as the first conference for Black women in economics and related fields. Hosted by Mathematica's Washington DC office, attendees came together to discuss their experiences, share strategies for success, and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Sadie T.M. Alexander. Our guests of honor included the daughter of Dr. Sadie T.M. Alexander, Dr. Rae Alexander-Minter, and extended family.
