The Niagara Leadership Summit for Women is back for its 8th year! Join us October 26-28th, 2021 for an online interactive three-day event to listen, learn and connect with women leaders in Niagara and discover how you too are a leader! This year’s theme is Courage to Lead.

The Niagara Leadership Summit for Women is presented by the YWCA Niagara Region and is an inclusive environment that encourages and celebrates women leaders in our community, as well as expanding the conversation surrounding women’s issues in Niagara.

This event offers many valuable opportunities for women leaders and allies to connect, share common goals, evaluate common challenges, and network with like-minded individuals.
