Sallie Krawcheck, chief executive of Citi Global Wealth Management, and repeatedly named one of the most powerful women on Wall Street, is expected to discuss the role of women in leadership positions Tuesday in Chapel Hill.

Krawcheck is a UNC-Chapel Hill alumnae and former Morehead scholar. Her speech is part of the activities for UNC Women's Week.

Given the recent stock market turmoil, it's a safe bet that some of the discussion will turn to the current economic outlook.

The Kenan-Flagler Dean's Speaker Series speech will start 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Koury Auditorium, UNC-Chapel Hill. A reception will follow. The event is free. To make reservations, you can call 843-7787 or e-mail kfbsrsvp@unc.edu.
