“Women Blazing Trails” is the theme of this year’s Women in Leadership Symposium, which will be held Tuesday, March 6.
The event will run from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in The University of Toledo’s Thompson Student Union Ingman Room.
The focus of the event is to bring together successful women leaders who, through discussion, will educate, inspire and encourage other women to reflect on their own goals and status.
“Very often women do not take the time to reflect upon their achievements and the goals that they have set for themselves,” said Dr. Amanda Bryant-Friedrich, dean of the UT College of Graduate Studies. “Providing this opportunity to women in our area to interact with women who are invested in their success and helping them find their path is an important investment in our community.”
The symposium will allow attendees to network and will include several speakers who will touch on a variety of topics, including caring for your whole self and how to handle difficult conversations with confidence.
In addition to Bryant-Friedrich, speakers will include Amy Yustick, chief financial officer for Champion Laboratories; Kim Riley, president of Cleveland-Hylant; Linda Alvarado-Arce, executive director of the city of Toledo; and Tasha Hussain Black, vice president of marketing for The Andersons Inc.
“This will be a wonderful event to gain firsthand knowledge from women who are successful in their fields and to gain insight into what it takes to be successful,” Bryant-Friedrich said.
Cost to register is $99 with a $3 transaction fee.
