Bringing together Chicago's brightest female leaders.

The fifth annual Women's Leadership Conference continued the tradition of bringing relevant, inspiring, and educational content to women of all walks in the Chicagoland area. This year's theme was Resilience--how do we bounce back, remain relevant, and stay balanced in an unbalanced and uncertain time? Each year, we challenge you to look within and define yourself as a leader, and this year's agenda was no different:
