Pathfinder Award 2008 to KPMG LLP

The Pathfinder Award recognizes businesses and organizations that are supportive of women through programs that promote leadership and advancement opportunities. 

 The KPMG LLP Women’s Advisory Board and Network of Women programs were established to create a more compelling work environment, enhance career opportunities, and provide community outreach options for women across the firm. 

 The Women’s Advisory Board works toward increasing overall employee awareness, encouraging accountability, and investigating alternatives that support KPMG’s goal to attract and retain women. 

 The KPMG Network of Women (KNOW) translates Women’s Advisory Board objectives into local office strategies.   In 2007 local office chapters delivered more than 260 events and programs, reaching an audience of 9,000 women employees.  The Milwaukee chapter has been active in supporting the advancement of women through various professional development opportunities, and internal and external networking opportunities.
