Why not just look at the current ratios of managers and test your hypothesis that lunch with this VP helps? My personal experience is that lunch is cheaper for the company to give than raises; it enables them to look like they're doing something while dollars to donuts the actual gender ratios get more & more lopsided as the paychecks rise. Perhaps your company is unusual and this isn't the case, and this lunch actually accomplishes something. I'd be quite interested if that were so.

I should pack up my stuff?" I think if there was a men's group, to help men get promoted, that people wouldn't shrug and say "Maybe it doesn't help."
