Content

This committee is responsible for ensuring we deliver compelling, engaging, and relevant (personally and professionally) content and programming for the Leadership Forum, ensuring programming caters to key demographics (next generation of industry professionals, mid-career, and executive level). They are responsible for selecting the topics, speakers/panelists, and moderators for breakout sessions during the conference.

Professional Development

This committee is responsible for coordinating and planning the day 1 professional development workshops at the Leadership Forum, including selecting topics and speakers. This committee also supports recruitment for Career Coaches. 

Community & Participant Engagement
This committee is responsible for curating and executing various activities that ensure the attendees are engaged, enjoying the conference and capturing/showcasing the spirit of the event. This includes organizing the structured networking session, wellness activities, and networking bingo. They will also be responsible for coordinating, finding facilitators, and providing guidance for the Brave Spaces and ensuring attendees have the safe space to discuss issues around their identity. 

Tours and Dine Arounds
This committee is responsible for some of the most fun experience at the Leadership Forum: selecting and organizing the Tours and Dine Arounds that take place on Day 1 of the Forum. This is a great committee to join if you live in the conference host-city, but all are welcome to join.
