JU Women of Year event March 7 coincides with first JU Women in Leadership Conference

This year’s annual JU Women’s History Month Event March 7 honoring distinguished community women coincides with the inaugural Jacksonville University Women in Leadership Conference, designed to connect JU women with each other and give them a chance to learn from outstanding and accomplished local women. Both events are in the Davis College of Business.

The conference in the Davis College of Business will begin with a panel dialogue based in part on the work of Sheryl Sandberg, CFO of Facebook and author of “Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead,” a best seller and an inspiration to many young aspiring graduates. The afternoon will continue with two breakout sessions that will allow participants to choose from several different topic areas presented on by distinguished guests.
