The Eighth Annual Spelman College Leadership and Women of Color Conference will assemble notable thought leaders to discuss and define what it means for women to “lead with purpose.” Leadership requires tremendous responsibility, accountability and at times, immense sacrifice – especially for women. Those who lead with purpose integrate their personal and professional priorities to provide a strong base for their leadership. The 2012 Conference will provide practical solutions on how to lead with purpose in a manner that is effective, sustainable and rewarding. Conference attendees and key experts will explore:

  1. How to build a strong foundation of leadership that is well-considered, authentic and intentional
  2. The value of innovation and the vital role of renewal and change in leadership
  3. The importance of mentors and reaching back to mentor future leaders
