Letter from the Chair:

Dear Fellow Leader:

Our bold new women's leadership conference is NOT business as usual! In fact, we guarantee it's unlike any leadership training you've ever expereinced.

The real heart and soul of this conference lies in the phenomenal women we've chosen to make your day - incredibly dynamic leadership experts who've toiled in the trenches facing the same tough day-to-day challenges you do. You'll hear how these amazingly successful leaders from different walks of life blazed through corporate jungles, persevered when the odds were squarely against them and built their dream careers brick by brick.

You'll find out how they reached the pinnacles of leadership success - and how YOU can, too!

Their inspiring stories - straight from the front lines of leadership - will inform you, entertain you and completely change the way you view your role as a leader today. Expect to laugh until your sides ache, to be moved to tears, to share great camaraderie with your peers and to gain tons of smart ideas and techniques that will immediately boost your leadership effectiveness.

Just think of all you have to look forward to at the Leadership Conference for Women! We promise this exhilarating day of training will strengthen your skills, expand your knowledge and reignite your passion for leadership. And frankly, it just won't be the same without you, so enroll today and join fellow leaders in your area for a leadership event you'll never forget!

Sincerely,

Sharon Yoder

Conference Chair

P.S. Join us for day two of this conference, where you'll get even more in-depth training on essential leadership skills.
