For me, it was very empowering to be around other career-minded, but not crazy climber-type women, and to hear their experiences. I liked the diversity of experience the women brought to the table. I certainly left feeling inspired, and feeling that I had met a handful of women I’d like to keep in touch with. Thank you for that.”

Gillian Gaynair
senior writer, International Center for Women, Washington, DC

I enjoyed it. I thought using a few speakers for different panels and keeping things moving was great. Folks naturally exchanged cards, but you might want to encourage it. The other thing that happened naturally was that women moved around the room and talked to different folks, so the introduction at the beginning probably helped us identify folks we wanted to speak with at some length.”

Jackie Jones

The women's event was extremely interesting for me. It was such a fabulous mix of accomplished women. I know I was asked to be a panelist, but I got out of it much more than I gave! I have thought about what was said there many times over the past few days. I left extremely motivated and encouraged in so many ways. It really has made me think about where I am headed. I don't have answers yet, but the accomplishments of the women there have inspired me. I could have spent the while day with those women.”
