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
