10th Annual Women's Leadership Forum

Making Shift Happen - Women in Leadership Roles

Top 5 Reasons you should attend:

5. Build potential partnerships and relationships
4. Renew and take a break
3. Be Inspired and Encouraged
2. Consider New Ideas and Theories
1. And the number 1 reason to attend: Invest in Yourself

The 10th Annual Women’s Leadership Forum of 2012 recognizes that the while the gender workforce is nearly 60% women, salary levels for women are still 20% less than that of men and that only 12 Fortune 500 companies are run by women. Our Forum goal is to provide leadership tools for women in all stages of their careers and create a balanced economic society. To this end, our theme this year is “Making Shift Happen”.

The Forum, in its 10th year, will take over the entire Cocoanut Grove with a full day of networking, education, and tools for a successful life – both business and personal. We have renowned Keynote speakers, Formal Networking, 6 tracks, music interlude, lunch, and a wine & cheese reception with book signings.

Please join us for a full day of learning and networking. Bring business cards and plan to meet new people and take away new knowledge.
