The County of Riverside, in partnership with the Corona Chamber of Commerce, invites you to join us for the 11th Annual Riverside County Women’s Leadership Conference Thursday, August 25, 2022. This year’s theme is Take Charge. We will share how to unleash the superpowers inside each of us.
This encouraging and inspiring event will take place at Crossroads Church in Corona, CA and will begin at 7:00am with a “Rise and Shine” networking hour, which includes breakfast, exhibitor booths, and the opportunity to build connections with like-minded women and men. The half-day program will kick off on-stage at 8:00am.
Based on the popularity of 2021’s rapid-fire talks from each speaker, this year’s event will also feature short updates from a variety of speakers sure to touch each attendee. Each speaker will provide a story, inspiration, their grit, and actionable steps to unleashing the superpowers we personally want to tap into.
Replacing the medical panel this year are revamped presentations from two local physicians, Cardiologist Dr. Mimi Biswas from Corona Regional Medical Center and a physician from Kaiser Permanente.
Tickets, exhibitor spaces, and sponsorship opportunities are available now. This is a great way to brand your business county-wide and be exposed to hundreds of women and men across a variety of industries.
Get ready for an action-packed morning! Find out more about the program and each speaker at MyChamber.org/WLC. Text WLC to 71441 to stay up to date on pertinent details.
