Why should you attend?

"Women are leading the charge in Riverside County. For the past several years, the majority of new entrepreneurial endeavors were established by women. The Riverside County Women's Leadership Conference [WLC] will provide an opportunity to learn from inspirational leaders and make connections that will be beneficial in both their personal and professional life." -Karen Spiegel, Riverside County Supervisor (and Founder of the WLC)

"From my perspective, it is important to attend the Women's Leadership Conference because it offers opportunities to learn new ideas and approaches to old situations. You will meet experts and influencers face-to-face in a venue filled with energy of like-minded individuals. As women, we must invest in ourselves more often, and have more fun." -Sophia Brooks, 2019 Speaker

"Because for too long women have been pitted against one another. We are not one another's competition and deserve an opportunity to find new ways to learn with and from one another. Together all of our individual voices are stronger." -Dr. Rebecca Heiss, 2019 Speaker

"I believe strongly that empowered women empower women and that is why I attend the WLC. I love the energy and the encouragement I get from other successful women. We all need to be empowered." -Michelle Mills, Diana Renee Homes, powered by Keller Williams, and 2019 Conference Committee Member
