Lead Like a Lady in Policy and Professionalism

The Network of enlightened Women National Women’s Summit is a half-day leadership event that gives conservative women, like you, the opportunity to become better educated on today’s most important policy issues and leave confident and ready to lead as a positive voice for conservative principles on campus.  

This year’s Summit will take place on Friday, June 24 from 11-3:30pm. Don’t miss one of the best half-day events in DC to learn about conservative policies, sharpen your skills, and grow your network.

Have you ever struggled to communicate your conservative beliefs on campus? Do you want to feel more equipped to discuss today’s most important policy issues? The second hour of programming will focus on today’s most important policy issues. Our National Women’s Summit will gather policy experts for “Empowered Talks”—mini, 10-minute sessions featuring a high-level overview of policy subjects to give you all the information you need to know to make the case for a conservative principles on campus. From school choice to occupational licensing reform, you will leave ready to discuss these issues in a compelling way with your peers. 

After a free lunch, attendees will have the chance to gather on the Heritage rooftop for dessert and the chance to have career consultations and resume reviews with NeW and Heritage staff members, all while enjoying one of the best views in DC. 

Young women will be invited to attend, including interns, Capitol Hill staffers, and students in the Washington, DC area as well as students from across the country on scholarship 

Following this event, you will return to your campus, place of work, and community more educated, equipped, and empowered to defend conservatism, make the case for important policy issues, and be a leader in your sphere of influence. Join the nation’s premier summit for conservative women.
