Baton Rouge summit tackles gender pay gap and equity issues
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The 2025 Pay Equity Summit is a two-day event that empowers women to demand equitable pay, amplify their voices, and build generational wealth.
The event is hosted by the Baton Rouge chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women.
Organizers said reports show women in 2025 still earn only 82 cents for every dollar men make, and that the wage gap widens to just 72 cents for women over 45. The summit will offer strategic networking opportunities for women at all stages of their careers.
Admission is free, but registration is required for each event. The summit will be from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, May 1, at Citizens Bank, 5700 Florida Blvd. The Friday event will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Reimagine Women's Center, 7600 Airline Hwy.
