The symposium’s mission is to:
“Advance women to top executive and board positions - where from the top they can influence and help companies capitalize on the many benefits of diversity and other best business practices - and to help sustain those women leaders who hold or will attain these top positions.”
Linda K. Bolliger, Founder and CEO of conference partner Boardroom Bound described further the purpose of the conference, "Instead of having to wait for doors to open, we are creating our own pathways to the top. This is an ideal venue to showcase developing women leaders alongside prospective mentors who are currently serving on corporate boards and other notables who are in a position to help them attain the visibility, access and support they might not otherwise have as easily.”
Valerie Jarrett, Chairman, Chicago Stock Exchange Board was the keynote speaker.
