“Some leaders are born women.” – Geraldine Ferraro
ONLY $10 for an informative and life-changing day of speeches, networking, and interacting with highly renowned female leaders!!! Includes coffee, snacks, a formal lunch buffet ($40 value), cocktails, and EMPOWERMENT! So what are you waiting for??!!
Join the McGill Women in Leadership Students’ Association (MWIL) for our second annual Trailblazers’ Testimonies Leadership Conference this March! Trailblazers’ Testimonies is an inspiring day-long conference which features absolutely incredible women who are leaders in a diverse set of fields.
This year’s theme is Leadership Styles. In addition to their own career paths, speakers will discuss their personal styles of leadership and how they have developed and refined this technique throughout their careers. We aim to shine light on the fact that there is no universal definition of leadership by highlighting the stylistic differences between seven extremely successful and influential leaders.
The event will include opportunities to engage with any speaker who aligns with your career aspirations or leadership philosophy, as well as breakout sessions and a networking cocktail!
All profit made from the conference will go to the Native Women’s Shelter of Montréal. We will also be accepting donations of feminine hygiene products at the conference on behalf of the NWSM!!
As always, ALL are welcome to attend!
