Women Business Leaders Showcased In Dallas

 DALLAS -- The Dallas Regional Chamber's 15th annual Women's Business Conference will take place on Thursday, October 14th at the Sheraton Dallas from 8 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  The Women's Business Conference is a day-long professional development conference and networking opportunity created to inform and inspire business women and men – professional, corporate and entrepreneurial – at all levels in their careers.

"Dallas is home to a dynamic community of businesswomen. The Women's Business Conference was designed to connect these leaders with information to enhance their professional development and the companies for whom they work," said Ambassador James C. Oberwetter, President, Dallas Regional Chamber. "We have a thoughtful line-up of speakers this year that will bring real-world advice on how to be successful to our attendees."

The event will feature luncheon keynote speaker Lisa Ling, a field correspondent for The Oprah Winfrey Show and contributor to ABCNews and National Geographic's Explorer. Ling has reported on issues that are too often ignored from dozens of countries around the world, including gang rape in the Congo, bride burning in India and the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda. She is a special correspondent for CNN's Planet in Peril series and contributing editor for USA Today's USA Weekend magazine.

The conference will kick-off with two breakfast keynotes featuring nationally known speakers:

  • Susie Cranston, an organization consultant at McKinsey & Company's San Francisco office and best-selling author of the "How Remarkable Women Lead: The Breakthrough Model for Work and Life."  Cranston led a team that completed the research for the McKinsey Centered Leadership model and made remarkable discoveries about what drives and sustains successful women leaders.
