Women in Business & Leadership Initiative – Summer Symposium 2017
June 21, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm
$65 – $160
This summer’s symposium focuses on ‘Taking the Leap’ – how organizations and individuals leapt from thought to action on gender equity in our community. Join us to connect with and hear from amazing speakers about their stories on moving to action, and learn how you can drive positive change in your own career and organization. Plus, meet a wide variety of other local professionals who are passionate about advancing gender equity in their workplaces and communities.
Leadership Keynote:
Sen. Rebecca Saldaña
Washington’s 37th District
Inspiration in Action: Building the Riveter
Amy Nelson, Co-Founder of The Riveter
Seattle is home to several new co-working spaces, but only one that was designed by and for women. Hear from co-founder Amy Nelson on how she made The Riveter a reality, the challenges and lessons learned in building a brand-new company from the ground up, and what women who want to get more engaged with a community of boss ladies can do within and outside of the walls of The Riveter!
100% Talent Skill Building Session: Leaping Within Your Organization
Featuring leaders from: Avvo, Bank of America, and Mercer
For many of us, the change we are seeking might not mean a new career or even a new job; it may mean driving personal or organizational changes that can have a big effect for yourself and your workplace. Hear from our panel of 100% Talent signatories about how individuals and organizations are inspiring and supporting action among themselves, their coworkers, and our community.
Round out the day with a facilitated WIBLI Networking session, where you’ll meet the professionals in the room and explore their (and your own!) stories of taking the leap.
