Women's Summit: Brave Brilliant Bold
November 2, 2017

SuperWomen, ChangeMakers, and Allies

There is no doubt that women are brilliant, resourceful, and strong. Like the generations that have come before, being a contemporary woman in the 21st century provides its own set of complexities, challenges, and possibilities. From ethnicity and religious affiliations, to family and professional roles, women and those who want to nurture the full potential of women, must make critical and courageous choices every day. This inspiring session offers short, bold and authentic talks (inspired by the popular “Ted Talks” format) designed to share diverse voices about women being cultural change agents, the process of allyship, the fluid understanding of who is a women, and forging new pathways for any stage in one’s career whether in the classroom or the conference room. Participants will be inspired, motivated, and informed. There will be Q & A time in which participants can interact with this diverse group of presenters.
