In its brief history, the National Diversity Council’s Women In Leadership Symposium has had an excellent group of panelists who have helped make our events the success they are today. These highly successful women represent the best in today’s world of business who have offered their insights on relevant issues impacting today’s workforce and what it takes to successfully manage the challenges they face as they rose to the top in their prospective organizations.
We thank each for their participation and hope all attendees found each event beneficial to help them reflect on their goals and status to help catapult themselves to the top in their own careers.
