Women's Council: When Women Lead – A Panel Discussion & Social

This year’s program brings together women leading at different levels and across diverse sectors — from middle management to small business ownership, and leaders working within government and the nonprofit space. Together, they’ll share what leadership looks like in real time: the pressures, pivots, and practical strategies that shape their work every day.

Our theme, “When Women Lead,” explores how women influence culture, drive results, and build strong teams — whether they’re managing up within an organization, running a growing business, leading mission-driven initiatives, or navigating community and stakeholder relationships. Expect an honest and dynamic conversation about overcoming challenges, building credibility, advocating for yourself and your team, and staying resilient in complex environments.

This intimate gathering will feature candid discussion around leadership struggles and solutions, managing expectations at every level, fostering community partnerships, and the unique realities of small business and nonprofit leadership. Panelists will share practical takeaways you can apply immediately, whether you’re leading a team, advancing within an organization, growing a business, or driving impact in your community.
