Raleigh | March 27, 2017:

The Junior League of Raleigh will host a conference offering a unique convergence of networking, learning and fun. Now in its fourth year, the Women’s Leadership Summit (previously known as the Women’s Empowerment Conference) is intended to provide a personal and professional development opportunity for women across the Triangle through engaging speakers, intentional networking and timely, relevant discussions. The summit will be held from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 29, 2017 at the Julia Jones Daniels Center for Community Leadership at 711 Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, NC.

This year the  Women’s Leadership Summit will feature keynote speaker Kiesha L. Cousar, as well as breakout sessions and an interactive panel discussion on the topic of “How to Own It: Reach Your Full Leadership Potential.” Participants will be encouraged and empowered to develop new leadership skills for their professional and personal growth, and help to define leadership for themselves in the many roles they occupy in society.

“The purpose of the conference is to bring all women together to share their passions, ideas, struggles and successes,” said Rebecca Ayers, president of the Junior League of Raleigh. “We hope the conference will ignite women to go out into their world and make it a better place for them, their families and our community.”
