Annual Women's Leadership Conference November 29-30, 2007
Native American Women have long led the struggle to ensure that the values, cultural norms, and rights of their respective tribes are never overlooked. For
Native American women, the path of professional growth and recognition is even more arduous because of complex societal factors. None of these factors,
however, are insurmountable. With vision and conviction, professional growth is possible. Based on your past input, this conference will address your needs,
your wants and offer you the opportunity to network and make new friends (or revisit with old ones.)
The theme of this conference will address women's issues in the workplace, through emphases on "sisterhood," methods of self-actualization and advancement.
Tribal women have bridged the gap between maintaining cultural values, while effectively addressing the demands of the modern world-of-work. This conference
will prove instructive and fun and we encourage you to register as early as possible.
