Why should I attend a national women leaders summit?
1) Learn how to best leverage your experience to earn a promotion or make a successful career transition in corporate, non-profit, education, or government.
2) Ask alumnae of Leadership America, the National African-American Women's Leadership Institute, the National Hispana Leadership Institute, the Center for Asian-Pacific American Women, Leadership California, Leadership Texas, and Leadership Illinois about whether or not you or someone you know should apply, and find out what they gained from their experiences.
3) Share your great ideas with hundreds of the nation's most dynamic women leaders.
4) Provide invaluable input on what mentors and mentees need most to develop the next generation of women leaders.
5) Gain invaluable contacts in-the-know about "The Next Big Thing" in their industry.
Admission to the events at Omni Hotels THIS Thursday, Sept. 18 in San Francisco and Friday, Sept. 19 in Los Angeles is free but reservations are required.

In the early morning hours of an overcast Monday, about three dozen women between the ages of 23 and 88 gathered at the Omni Hotel in Chicago for the first of five National Women's Leadership Summits sponsored by State Farm and presented by Leadership America, the National African-American Women Leadership Institute (NAAWLI), the Center for Asian Pacific American Women (CAPAW), and Leadership Illinois. Their idea: to reflect on the past two decades of women's professional development training programs, and to define "the Next Big Thing" women will need to lead in the 21st century.
About one-third of participants were alumnae of Leadership Illinois, and a handful were prospective members who hadn't participated in any of the sponsoring organizations' training sessions. Ideas ranged from the engagement of online social media to the construction of senior women's co-housing. Data gathered will be combined with information from sessions in San Francisco (September 18), Los Angeles (September 19), and Dallas (October 11). Space is limited and registration is required.
