This Board is a terrific opportunity to work closely with other dynamic women on an important event that is empowering for both the Board members and all the participants at the conference. The women who have worked on the Board, along with members of the subcommittees, are innovative, enthusiastic and have a great time together building the Women’s Leadership Conference.
The Board currently consists of 8 members, plus the Past President, who oversee the organization of the full day Women’s Leadership Conference in early May and the 4 micro events throughout the year. This is a working board in that the members, including any committee members, handle all elements of the conference. The Board meets monthly for 2 hours to ensure the content, logistics, finance and registration are taken care of. All committees meet on their schedule apart from that.
Our intent is to have Board members represent as diverse a community of women as possible – including age, type of profession, stage in profession, ethnicity, community connections, and skill set.
