This year’s theme, “RISE 2022: Building New Paths” invites our participants and sponsors to reconnect, invest, strive, and envision women leading the way for mental health & wellness, economic empowerment and women’s leadership in San Mateo County. Living, as we do, at the epicenter of innovation, it is incumbent upon us to learn how we can become a catalyst for change. We have a full day planned of informative sessions with dynamic plenaries, round-table networking, an exhibit hall and short coaching sessions.
Tickets
The fees charged for RISE 2022 are intended to encourage audience members to attend all conference activities. However, we do not want it to be a deterrent to those who face economic hardship; therefore, we have a limited number of waivers available to those with economic hardships or those who are undergraduate or graduate students.
Who Should Attend
The *Women’s Leadership Conference is a virtual day-long event where people share their lived experiences on leadership, economic empowerment, and mental health & wellness in our county. These people are invested in creating change in the workplace, government, businesses, community groups and other sectors of society to empower and develop more female leaders in San Mateo County.
*”Women and girls” refers to gender expansive adults and youth (cis, trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and gender queer). This event is for anyone who is comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of women.
Goals
- Create change for women in organizational culture, policy, compensation, and government representation.
