"According to the latest research, women are more ambitious than ever before in our
time. The WIL professional track provides the relevant resources, networking connections
and expert support women leaders want – and need – to take their careers to the next
level. What this program has done is to provide women leaders in the Memphis area,
and future leaders, with a path to development that many organizations aren’t able
to provide. WIL also connects the university with valuable potential industry partners
who can make a deep impact on program growth and strategic curriculum planning. During
the initial year, we’ve had inspiring keynotes, breakout sessions, case studies, and
conference topics that provide valuable skill-building opportunities for women. I’m
telling every young female professional to join this year’s conference tracks. I have
been amazed at what’s been accomplished already, and I look forward to future conferences,
workshops and peer learning opportunities with Dr. Tuberville and FCBE."
