COVID-19 doesn’t stop visionary and influential women from learning and achieving. The old ways may not be accessible, so smart women just do things in a different way. One of those different ways of doing things is that this year the Annual WOVI Conference for Women has gone digital. We know women will be critical team members when we emerge from this unprecedented present and move into the future.

So mark your calendar and reserve your spot TODAY for the WOVI Conference for Women, Digital Version, Saturday, May 30, from 9 am to 2 pm. This digital conference represents a new way for us to gather together to learn, think and interact. Attendees will interact with subject matter experts and influential thinkers who will help shape your skills and thoughts now and in the future.

Experience the conference from the comfort of your home on the Zoom digital platform. The conference will include all the things you’ve come to expect over the years:

Four educational sessions will help you enhance vital skills that women in leadership always need to display. We emphasize them now because the skills are more essential during this unprecedented situation. The emphasis will fall on leadership, outreach through mentoring and personal development that will lead to your displaying more confidence and having a stronger presence.
