Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) is proud to support International Women’s Day (IWD), which celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political contributions of women. With robust female-focused initiatives and a longstanding history of empowering women leaders, EO upholds the mission of this global program every day.

This year’s IWD falls on 8 March, 2020, and its focus is #eachforequal, which recognizes that equality is not a women’s issue—rather, it’s an economic issue. Equality between genders is good for business, great for communities and essential for business growth.

We asked EO Colorado member Ashley Picillo (pictured at left) to share her insights on gender equality in business. Picillo is the chief executive officer and founder of Point Seven Group (Point7), a women-owned and -operated boutique cannabis consultancy based in Denver, Colorado, and Sonoma County, California.
