“Center Stage: Standing Out & Speaking Up”
Our Sponsor
This year’s theme of Center Stage; Standing Out and Speaking Up, expands our campaign of empowerment! We aim to re-frame the narrative where women are no longer simply fitting in but creating a culture of change where they are valued contributors that truly belong. This annual symposium delivers an opportunity for women who aspire, are emerging and executing in leadership roles the opportunity to evolve and elevate the best versions of themselves. We will dive into some of the most compelling topics impacting our voice, vision and values as we navigate the leadership spectrum. Join us for this half day symposium, enjoy breakfast and lunch and participate in an engaging and educational forum through courageous conversations with accomplished speakers, invigorating thought and solution provoking discussions and networking prospects. As an attendee, expect to leave with tangible tools and a renewed resolve to command your very own “Center Stage” in today’s workplace by charting your course in defining success, navigating its journey and relishing in the milestone destinations of accomplishments. Stand Out and Speak Up!
