In June, WPLN brought together passionate women (and a few men!) from all over the U.S. to meet in Denver, Colorado, for 3 days to learn, share leadership journeys, and connect. We're thrilled to announce that our next summit (June 5-7, 2025) will take place in Orlando, Florida. Register today to receive exclusive early-bird pricing!
Can't wait for WPLN's 4th annual National Summit this June? Tune into our LIVE panel preview featuring Madeline Meininger, Program Manager for a graduate program at the University of San Francisco, dedicated to preparing veterans and military family members for a career in politics, policy, or advocacy. Madeline, host of our "Veterans in Leadership" panel at #WPLNSummit, will discuss why diverse perspectives are vital in public leadership and the unique transition from military service to public service. Tune in live Thursday, April 3rd!
What drives you to lead? Next week, Larissa Martinez sits down with Maralyn Beck, founder of the New Mexico Child First Network, to explore the vital question: "What's Your Why?" They dive into how a strong sense of purpose is the foundation for effective leadership. Maralyn shares her personal journey and insights on overcoming hesitation, translating passion into action, and building a supportive network to lead with conviction.
