Conversation & Leadership
Empowering, Educating and Supporting Women in Leadership
Conversation & Leadership is a networking movement started in 2018 for women who desired a safe space to learn and grow within themselves as leaders. This began as quarterly networking events. Now, in our fifth year, Conversation & Leadership continues to evolve and we are becoming the leader in education and training emerging and future women and young girl leaders.
In addition to hosting quarterly events, we also bestow annual awards to extraordinary women who have made significant contributions to supporting and motivating other women within their respective fields.
