National Women’s Leadership Summit in New Orleans, LA with
Honorary Co-Chairs
Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Senator David Vitter (R-LA)
The 2013 National Women’s Leadership Summit will be held in New Orleans, LA on June 28-29, 2013. This year’s Summit focuses on entrepreneurial opportunities and barriers, as well as nontraditional alternatives in industries with which women face challenges such as petroleum, alternative energy, construction, and transportation. The dialogue and information shared will focus on credit and legal issues, putting technology to work for business and career success, healthcare issues/policy as well as the career barriers and prospects in the nontraditional industries spotlighted.
Women leaders throughout the country – from Washington to Louisiana to Alaska are invited . Out of the summit may come best practices for business and government in respect to enhanced economic opportunities for women.
The National Women’s Leadership Summit (NWLS) is a bi-partisan effort to embolden women, who lead in government, NGO’s, academics and the private sector, to collaborate on finding pragmatic approaches to solving issues facing women in our nation.
In 2009, The Louisiana Center for Women and Government at Nicholls State University established the National Women’s Leadership Summit to strengthen women’s visibility and credibility as leaders in addition to broaden their influence at the local, state and federal level. As well as in the private economic arena.
Since the first Summit in New Orleans, the NWLS has held three successful Summits tapping women, who are leaders in a variety of industries to participate in bi-partisan conversations about balancing our energy needs with environmental and economic concerns.
The 2011 National Women’s Leadership Summit in Washington, DC was a culmination of these Summits, and we began the groundwork for a final NWLS Energy and Environment Compact. The Compact will lay the foundation for developing the best energy practices throughout all sectors for local, state and federal governments.
