The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce unveiled the speaker slate and other key scheduling details for their upcoming Women’s Initiative Regional Summit.
Scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2 at Newport’s MegaCorp Pavilion, the event is designed to support the professional growth of women in different stages of their careers, according to the Chamber. This will be the eighth iteration of the Women’s Initiative Regional Summit.
This year’s theme is “Passing the Mic: Empowering Ourselves & Others” and will focus on professional development and mentorship. Each of the event’s speakers will guide attendees through their career goals by equipping them with the tools they need to mentor themselves and others.
“The presentations at this year’s Regional Summit have been carefully curated and designed to equip attendees with invaluable tools for self-mentorship. This can’t-miss event is going to liberate individuals while instilling confidence to guide and support others in their journeys, fostering a ripple effect of empowerment,” NKY Chamber Women’s Initiative Director Holly Nibert said.
