Bringing together Chicago's brightest female leaders.
The fifth annual Women's Leadership Conference will carry on the tradition of bringing relevant, inspiring, and educational content to women of all walks in the Chicagoland area. This year's theme is Resilience--how do we bounce back, remain relevant, and stay balanced in an unbalanced and uncertain time? Join us on April 20th to hear insightful stories from our speakers and panelists, and benefit from our workshops in effective communication, maintaining relevance, and bouncing back. Each year, we challenge you to look within and define yourself as a leader, and this year's agenda is no different:
