Women Who Lead Conference 2025
The Women’s Center in the Centers for Student Engagement is honored to host the 18th Annual Women Who Lead Conference in the Graham Center Ballrooms on March 19, 2025, from 9:00 am-3:00 pm.
This event is free for FIU students. Alumni, faculty, staff, and community members are also welcome to attend and may purchase tickets online.
The Women Who Lead Conference is a full-day event that centers women’s voices in brave spaces and creates an opportunity for intergenerational engagement. We invite the FIU and South Florida community to the event as we celebrate the accomplishments of women in different fields and provide practical tools for navigating the world as women.
Students have the opportunity to connect with faculty and staff across the university and the surrounding community. We have a student ambassador program that provides students with an opportunity for professional development, networking, and reflection.
This year’s theme is “Women Making Waves in Leadership”
Women are making waves by leading within their communities in many roles that are expanding the expectations for gender, cultural customs, and societal pressures. Shifting the narratives for who can be an Olympic medalist, top music artist, high ranking CEO, and an entrepreneur to name a few; a woman does not need to fit into society’s view of success to earn the title of a leader.
We are powerful agents who can bring in new experiences, ideas, and inclusive approaches for contributing to our community. As women, we continue to make and create waves within our community by opening our perspectives for how women are reshaping cultural norms, traditional narratives, and owning our bodies while taking up space within the sea of opportunity.
The Women Who Lead Conference seeks to:
- Enhance participants’ understanding & awareness about the scope of women in leadership in our society today.
- Provide participants with an opportunity to interact with & learn from women leaders in a variety of career fields.
- Develop a greater understanding of careers available in a variety of fields.
- Assist our participants in developing their personal leadership plans.
Lunch will be served, and participants will have the opportunity to network with fellow professionals.
We look forward to seeing you at the Women Who Lead Conference! Register online now.
