Women’s Leadership Conference for Women in Public Service

Thank you to all who attended this year’s Women’s Leadership Conference.

Please return to this site for up-to-date information about our next conference.

Conference Description

Women in public service possess unique skills and offer outstanding contributions to Oklahoma.  Through motivation and inspiration, these women will continue to develop our current and future female leaders.

Through keynote addresses, panel Q&A, breakout sessions, small group discussions, and high levels of interaction, participants will learn ways to:

• Innovate – respond to contemporary challenges, rapidly changing systems, and workforce demographics.
• Navigate – an approach to career decision making that allows each of us to navigate our own unique path to personal and professional leadership.
• Create – tap into fresh value-creating ideas that inspire, promote, and push the boundaries.

Who Should Attend?

Current public service employees and students interested in developing their leadership skills or moving into positions of greater responsibility.

The conference is for women in public service who have a strong interest in achievement, the drive to advance their careers, and an interest in partnering with others to promote women’s leadership.

The conference prefers the participation of a diverse group of professional women, including those who are:

• new to their organization;
• actively seeking to develop their careers in public service; and
• in senior level positions in their organizations continuing to serve, fully engaged in the future leadership challenges in state government.

There is also an opportunity for students to attend the conference.  Full-time students who are not yet gainfully employed in a public service field and seeking a career in government are encouraged to attend.
