VERTEX’s Chief Human Resources Officer Shae Crawford will participate as a panelist at the Chicago Women’s Leadership Accelerator (CWLA) on April 9, 2026, in Chicago, IL. The one-day leadership development program is designed to empower career-driven women with the skills and perspectives needed to lead effectively in today’s dynamic business environment.
As part of the program, Shae will join fellow senior leaders for the lunch leadership panel discussion, “Paving Pathways: Chicago Women Leaders.” The conversation will bring together accomplished women across industries to share candid insights from their leadership journeys, discussing challenges, lessons learned, and the experiences that shaped their careers.
The event offers an immersive day of learning and connection, bringing together current and aspiring leaders for expert-led discussions, collaborative learning, and networking opportunities that elevate leadership impact and help shape the next generation of business leaders.
Shae’s participation reflects VERTEX’s continued commitment to fostering strong leadership, inclusive workplaces, and professional growth across the organizations and communities we serve.
