Activities included vendor exhibitions, breakout sessions focused on a considerable range of timely topics including, women and smart risks, the politics of promotions, managing conflict, and shattering the glass ceiling.
A highlight of the conference was the awarding of the National Diversity Council’s Glass Ceiling Award, which celebrates the achievements of women who not only achieved personal success but make it possible for others to more easily follow in their footsteps.
