Hollywood executives held a secret meeting about gender bias and created a plan to solve it

Over two days in mid-October, Hollywood executives and power players held a secret meeting in LA to address the gender bias that's plaguing their industry.

The event was hosted by Women in Film and the Sundance Institute. According to Deadline, which broke news of the gathering, 44 of the biggest players in the industry - including producers Paula Wagner and Mike De Luca, HBO Films president Len Amato, showrunner Jenji Kohan ("Orange is the New Black"), and actress Maria Bello (pictured) - didn't just meet to chat. They came up with a four-point plan to solve the issue.

Here is that plan:

- Advocate "Unconscious Bias" training across the industry. An expert Unconscious Bias educator will be selected to work with executives and creatives across the board.

- Develop and launch a Gender Parity Stamp to recognize films and television shows - as well as production companies, networks, and studios - that show measurable progress to achieving gender equity

- Sponsor/Protégé Program. This high-level pilot program will identify talented early-to-mid career female film and TV directors for a year-long training and fellowship program, and pair them with advocates across the industry who will actively help them move to the next level.

- Ambassadors from the meeting of industry leaders will spread the word about the solutions to studios, networks, and agencies.

"We are at an economic, social, and cultural tipping point and sustainable change is within reach," Cathy Schulman, president of Women in Film Los Angeles, told Deadline. "The time to act is now. Hollywood is surprisingly late in coming to this party and this is the time for conversion."
