2009 Women’s Business Association Conference
Make It Mine: Owning your Professional Experience

In a world where a myriad of opportunities exist, every woman can create a unique path that allows her to achieve her professional goals while managing a satisfying personal balance.  The 2009 Women’s Business Association Conference will bring together successful and influential women from a wide variety of industries to share key decisions they have made and lessons they have learned as they have pursued their professional passions.  Interactive break-out sessions on topics such as influence techniques and group dynamics will encourage women to own their opinions in group settings while offering practical tips to sharpen communication skills.  In our panel sessions, successful women will share insights on topics such as owning your future with values-based goal-setting, taking ownership of the direction of conversations in networking situations, and pursuing ownership to the extreme in the form of running your own business.  We will end the day with a networking reception that will feature a guest image consultant who will speak about best practices for owning your image.
