The Women's Professional Development Workshop features an extraordinary panel of accomplished women discussing their path to leadership, including barriers to entry, how they navigated their path to success, and advice they offer others still on the path.

Specifically, the panel will discuss:

• Key characteristics to becoming an effective and impactful team player within an organization
• Gaining confidence and valuing and promoting your talents and abilities
• Leaning in and knowing when and how to take professional risks
• Pandemic impacts, including how women are navigating current work-from-home while balancing professional productivity and family obligations, along with longer term career impacts
• Gender barriers - are they still as strong as they once were?
