Professional Development & Training

Registration is Full. 

This one-day conference brings together strong, successful women to hear how they are not only breaking down barriers, but how they support and encourage other women on their own path. Join professionals, academics, and students for an inspiring day of valuable insights and practical strategies for success.

Lifting as you lead supports the idea that true leadership does not end with personal achievement, but also the collaborative efforts to provide everyone with the opportunities and skills to succeed. The conference focuses on topics and segments of the business industry that emphasize how crucial it is to be uplifting, encouraging, and supportive to those around you.
