We invite you to join us for the 12th Annual Women in Leadership Conference!

Some of us measure our success in dollars or promotions; others count the problems that they've wrestled to the ground or the high profile projects that they have led across the finish line. For others it is about the best team they can build or the coolest technologies they can invent. But sooner or later most of us will look back on our life and wonder, how can I make my mark and show "I was here"?


The 2008 WIL Conference will focus on innovative and effective ways that women can make a mark in all aspects of their lives – from the office, to home and their communities. The event promotes the wide variety of career options, professional networks and lifestyle choices available to women today.

Join us for:

  • Industry Sessions focusing on industry-specific business challenges and trends, as well as work-life balance Panels focusing on how to “make your mark” at home, the office and in your community
  • Professional Development Workshops to inspire and challenge participants
  • A luncheon for attendees, panelists, and recruiters to meet and mingle
  • A wine reception where attendees will have the opportunity to meet panelists, speakers, and recruiters from their industry
