2019 Women's Leadership Symposium

Hosted by the Air Force Materiel Command

Empower, encourage, embrace: Inaugural Women’s Leadership Symposium inspires growth, diversity

The inaugural Air Force Materiel Command Women’s Leadership Symposium will take place November 13-14, 2019 in Dayton, OH. The symposium was created in order to educate Airmen and the community on the importance of developing, supporting and retaining female leaders through diversity and the cultivation and leadership of inclusive teams. The symposium will provide professional development opportunities and meaningful mentor relationships for military members, civilians in the community, and all leaders, regardless of gender, interested in bolstering and empowering women in leadership roles. 

The theme of this year’s conference is “Embrace, Encourage, Empower” and will focus on embracing roadblocks and stereotypes women face in the workforce; encouraging inclusive and diverse opportunities; and empowering women to obtain and maintain leadership roles. Through mentorship and networking opportunities, inspirational key-note speakers, Q&A panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions, participants will dialogue about, and gain insight into, how can we better recruit, support and retain women in leadership.
