(NOT A CCLA SPONSORED EVENT)
 

Date: Sunday, September 7, 2025
Time: 3:00 - 5:15 pm

Location: Pasadena (address to be shared in separate email to registered attendees)


Asia Society Southern California's AWE (Asian Women Empowered) and the Cornell Asian Alumni Association (CAAA) will be co-hosting a book signing and a fireside chat with Anne Chow '88, MEng '89, MBA '90, the trailblazing business leader and author of the compelling and pragmatic book Lead Bigger. Asia Society Southern California Chair, Katie Soo, will join Anne for the conversation.

 

As the former CEO of AT&T Business – the first woman of color to be CEO in AT&T's history – Anne led a $35 billion business and oversaw more than 35,000 employees. Anne was also CAAA's Pan-Asian Banquet honoree in 2023. She has spent her career breaking barriers and championing inclusive leadership. In Lead Bigger, she shares meaningful lessons and real-world insights on what it means to lead with purpose, courage, and authenticity.

This is more than a book event – it is a unique opportunity to hear Anne on her journey and learn more about how inclusion can unlock full potential in the workforce and workplace. Whether you are an executive, entrepreneur, or aspiring change maker, we believe you will walk away energized to lead bigger in your own life and work. Attendees can also have their books signed by Anne!
