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.
