Leadership America Celebrating 30 Years As… Leadership America Celebrating 30 Years as….. The Competitive Edge in Women’s Leadership Presented By 2017 PROGRAM OVERVIEW LEADING WITH A GLOBAL VISION - A NATIONAL FOCUS – A LOCAL CONCERN “Leadership That Informs, Impacts and Inspires” 2017 Leadership America will celebrate three decades of informing and inspiring nearly 2,200 women leaders across the nation and around the globe. To mark this notable anniversary, 2017 Leadership America is planning celebratory sessions that will feature the nation’s most thought-provoking women and men – key decision-makers, imaginative innovators, respected scholars, experienced legislators and policy makers, and future-forward thought-leaders. Creative and innovative leadership is needed to strengthen and sustain today’s global society. America and the world have an insatiable desire for new approaches to address complex issues; for discernment amid disparate voices; for new collaborations across lines of differences; and, for the vision to move beyond polarization – at home and abroad. To remain competitive, America must continue to develop the leaders and visionaries of the future. Each of the three related 2017 program sessions will provide the most relevant insights, newest ideas, and latest information addressing solutions to the most compelling and challenging issues confronting today’s interconnected global society. Covering issues in the political, social, education, economic, energy and environmental arenas, each session format will provide glimpses into possible futures and suggest roadmaps for leading us forward. Using the locales of three of the nation’s most vibrant cities, each session’s agenda will feature opportunities to meet with inspiring and influential leaders at the local, regional and national levels. The women of Leadership America are also afforded opportunities for conversations among themselves to share experiences and insights, discuss ways the Leadership America program will expand their influence and impact their leadership journeys, and, build lasting professional and personal networks. Informed and inspired, empowered and energized the women of 2017 Leadership America will return to their respective spheres of influence with leading-edge information; expanded visions; and deepened commitments to strengthen their respective communities.
