Women's Leadership Conference
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to volunteer at and attend the Women's Leadership Conference through WIB along with many of our members. What a great experience!
Being at the conference made me think about what presenter Anna Lloyd said on Wednesday: "You can't be what you don't see." For me, it felt a renewal of my passion and leadership to be surrounded by strong women in the corporate world for a day, a reminder of what I want to be.
The highlight of the event for me was a keynote by current CEO of the YWCA, Becky Roloff. While Becky loved her over 25 years in the corporate sector, she described her decision to join the YWCA as well as her fight to improve early childhood education in Minnesota. I also enjoyed trying to muddle my way through a seminar on planning for retirement (401K, Roth IRA, nest egg?) and lunch with women from Carlson Companies and Medtronic.

Good leadership is built on experience, integrity and trust, according to Cathleen Black, president of Hearst Magazines and a pioneer in the media industry, who delivered the keynote address during the sixth annual Women in Business (WIB) Conference on Nov. 21.
