Conference Overview
While progress has been made in the past few decades for women’s
rights, there are still inequities in pay, gender discrimination,
harassment issues, and other challenges that women leaders must face in
modern organizations. Stanford women are among the most
intellectually curious, productive and motivated people in the
world. The Stanford Women’s Leadership Conference was created to
provide a powerful opportunity for these talented women to come
together to make connections, learn strategies for overcoming the
barriers that still persist for women leaders, and develop ways to move
innovative ideas into creative action.
The theme of the second annual Stanford Women’s Leadership Conference is Embracing Change.
In our histories, across cultures, in the workplace, government, and educational institutions, change has been pivotal in realizing the potential for progress. Raising our awareness of change will inform our actions and equip us to enact meaningful differences. Within the dynamic nature of society we celebrate the contributions of innovators and draw inspiration to effect new change.
by providing innovative opportunities for scholarship, leadership, and activism.
