IT’S TIME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
The Women’s Leadership Conference is an all-day professional development and networking event created to provide a platform outside of the workplace to educate, encourage and inspire women to take their careers to the next level. Our purpose is to empower our attendees by creating a community dedicated to helping each other build and enhance amazing careers.
The conference provides a platform for a diverse audience of professional women to receive inspiration and empowerment to achieve their career and personal goals. The conference features sessions, panel discussions and keynote presentations from experienced leaders with content focused on leadership development, career advancement and wellbeing. The 2021 event will center around “Make it Happen” — with messages, lessons and tools from leaders who desire to empower your personal growth and help you arrive at a place to trust from within. Learn alongside other women how to make it happen in your career and life.

Here's what past attendees are saying
It was a day filled with support for and from women who have a common goal. I felt energized and empowered!
The feeling of empowerment that is almost overwhelming when you have all of these women here to talk about their experiences and current leadership success.
It was a great conference to ensure I am always at the forefront of my success.
Great day to reflect on myself and identify what I need to do. Amazing networking opportunities as well although attending virtual made thing a little difficult but the chat was great and well utilized.
Invest in women leaders
We’ve come so far in recognizing the value of gender diversity in corporate leadership. It’s paying dividends. Research shows that companies are more profitable when women are well represented at the top.
Businesses and professionals need to continue to fuel the momentum of the progress we’ve made in gaining leadership roles for women. Especially now, when women’s roles in the workplace are at risk. It’s the unfortunate reality of corporate America today — 1 in 4 women are considering downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce completely.
Come alongside us. Together we can show our women leaders — and future women leaders — that they are valued and exceptionally needed in the working world.
When you support women in the workplace, you’re
- Fostering confidence
- Encouraging a community of support
- Meaningfully impacting a company’s culture
- Affirming the value of gender diversity in corporate America
