th ANNUAL Women's SYMPOSIUM

FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 2023

I remembered the representation of the business community on behalf of the Chamber and decided to apply as an intern. The experience that I gained during this four month internship and the work that I delivered, motivated me later on to become the International Business Affairs Coordinator at the Chamber after my college graduation. (OLP) Senior-year “me” would be very fulfilled to hear that am following in one of the panelist’s footsteps as I am planning and implement quarterly International Business Affairs Forums, assist in the coordination of annual delegation trips to Washington D.C. and Mexico City, and serve as liaison with government officials and industry leaders in Mexico.”

Anne Holland ‘15 shares, “I remember being so enthralled that women were capable of pursuing and being a part of any field they wanted to be in. really enjoyed listening to the woman from Facebook. Although I don’t work in the STEM field, she encouraged me to try coding, so took a computer science course in college and actually did fine. If it weren’t for her, maybe I wouldn’t have tried it.”

As we celebrate the 9th annual Women’s Symposium in March 2023, our students are benefitting from a model created by Dr. Lek in which “empowered women, empower women” and the high school students of OLP and many guests, have the opportunity to collectively glean from top female leaders, consider entrepeneurial pusuits and experience the comraderie. Please mark your calendars to attend on Friday, March 24, 2023, and join us!

Modeled after the speaker panels at leading universities, OLP Women’s Symposium brings together top women leaders to share their insights and pathways to success with our students and community. Through dialogue and modeling, these female leaders empower young women to stand up for themselves and fearlessly chase their dreams.
