Inland Northwest women will gather from 7:30 a.m.-2 p.m., Friday, March 6 to embrace the challenge of leadership at the 2009 Women’s Leadership Conference of the Inland Northwest at Spokane Community College’s Lair Student Auditorium.

The conference results from collaboration among higher education institutions in the region, including Gonzaga University. The conference theme this year is: “From Generation to Generation.” The Women’s Leadership Conference will focus primarily on new skills women can develop to be successful leaders.

An award will be given to women who demonstrate exceptional leadership in five categories: student, faculty, administrator, business and community. Nominations are accepted through Feb. 17. Nomination forms are available online.

The conference fee is $35, which includes an awards ceremony luncheon honoring women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership. Students may attend the conference and luncheon for $10. The conference is free for students who do not wish to attend the luncheon.
