About
The Metro Women's Leadership Summit is committed to celebrate our diversity, teaching us how to unify our message and empower all that attends. This full-day program will enlighten you on the most current challenges we face as women, highlighting real solutions to put into action steps.
Our format includes keynote speakers who have been instrumental in moving the dial. Our breakout sessions will feature individuals that have broken ground and are recognized in their respective fields. Each of our featured speakers will unselfishly share their real experiences and know how on achieving great success in both your professional and personal lives. Finally, our open networking/meal functions will allow each attendee to mingle and learn from a broad group of experts that we feature each year.
Our Mission Statement
The Metro Women's Leadership Summit mission is to inspire, educate, empower and engage women in the metro area. Bringing women of all walks of life together in order to share ideas and redefine our greater role in society. Providing opportunities to learn, network and promote a sustainable path to success for the women we engage. The primary purpose is to develop by precept and example, a more informed, intelligent, engaged and serviceable citizen. We reach this goal through mentorship, networking, experiencing and participating in sessions at the Metro Women's Leadership Summit and continue the work through follow-up activities throughout the year.
The goal of our Summit is to enhance the lives of women leaders professionally and personally through the sharing of resources; addressing issues directly impacting women, politically and economically; and focusing on health, culture, education and empowerment. Growth is the ultimate goal. Propelling our leadership forward and creating a strong women's network. The relationships produced will foster superior women leadership, energized and ready to serve our greater community.
Value Statement
Our purpose is to empower and encourage women in our community to leverage every unique facet of their individual personalities and life experiences. Gender and race are the shorthand we use to tell ourselves stories about who we are, but we want women to understand their inherent shorthand, is to have respect for community and for the individual lives they have lived. We must assist women in having a sense of respect for those we serve and pursue public service with honor. We help them to have a sense of obligation to service and witness their very own greatness in other women. We teach them to be collaborative and how to become the best leaders and change makers. We remind women they long have been responsible for the greatness we see, without necessarily having authority. Most women feel underutilized and underestimated, although they have been forced to over perform while finding soft ways to take credit. Through the yearly continuity of workshops, networking and dynamic speakers, we will ultimately identify defined leadership and power.
The investment in women who are passionate and ready to lead is long overdue and the Metro Women's Leadership Summit is an answer to that call. Communities across our country are missing out on some of the greatest leadership, because we have failed to properly empower and support dynamic women. The importance of this moment is critical in moving our country forward and we must not continue to fail at investing in the women who are on the frontlines and ready to serve.
