The Ninth Annual Women's Leadership Symposium and Celebration, has as its theme: "Looking Back, Leaping Forward: Changing Legacies of Women's Leadership" in honor of Miami's Bicentennial.  The mission of the Women’s Leadership Symposium and Celebration is to celebrate both the relational and individual strength of women. Through facilitating connections with others, this event promotes an appreciation for the historical and contemporary struggles of women and provides an opportunity to honor today’s women leaders and inspire hope for tomorrow’s leaders.

The event begins with a welcome at 9:30am.  Breakout sessions begin at 9:50am.  The luncheon, which includes the alumnae panel and an awards ceremony, will take place from 11am - 1pm.  Two groups of breakout sessions from 1:15-2:15pm and 2:30-3:30pm round out the day.

Breakout sessions preceding and following the luncheon are free; however, we ask that you register in advance to help us with our planning. 

The Women’s Leadership and Male Ally Awards are presented during the luncheon to those who have distinguished themselves in their respective communities and organizations as advocates for equality and models of leadership. Through their personal and professional commitments, these individuals have challenged societal norms, expectations, and the limitations of gender roles.

Celebrating the relational and individual strength of women

 We hope to see you on October 23rd!
