Welcome to the Wilmington
Young Women's Leadership Symposium
If you are interested or have a passion for moving women's initiatives forward, this event is for you! The Young Women's Leadership Symposium is a phenomenal opportunity to transform our community into a truly inclusive environment where young women are encouraged to reach their full potential.
Who Should Attend
The Young Women's Leadership Symposium seeks to bring together female students from universities, colleges, early colleges, and high schools from their area that have been nominated by faculty, administrators, or other special interest organizations to attend.
Young Women's Leadership Symposiums focuses on promoting the development of future business leaders by giving young women access to mentors and businesses that support their goals. The Symposium will focus on leadership, college and career planning, diversity, advocacy for girls.
For the 2014 Wilmington YWLS, we would like to focus on STEM disciplines. Content may revolved around preparing high school seniors through college juniors to effectively plan and work towards a brighter future, and stimulate discussion around diversity issues in STEM careers. We are still in the planning phase and looking for support and input from the professionals and students in the Greater Wilmington Area.
Our Mission
Promote the development of our future women leaders by giving them access to influential business women in the Carolinas area. The Symposium will focus on leadership, personal brand management and career/college planning.
