The event engages women from <br />the world’s wealthiest nations in the quest to give a voice to those <br />less fortunate than themselves: "As New York based British women of <br />Ghanaian heritage, we consider ourselves to be citizens of world. And as<br /> such our mandate is to unite and empower women everywhere. We all share<br /> common goals of wanting to be happy and successful, to have strong <br />families and dynamic careers. And that’s what the WIE Symposium is <br />about, setting aside our differences and uniting behind our common <br />aspirations."
