More About Our Event
This year's conference speakers were selected in recognition of the 30th anniversary of United Airlines Flight 232 crash landing and Briar Cliff’s contributions to the survivors of that event. The focus of the 1930 Women’s Leadership Conference will be on collaboration, community response during a crisis and lessons of leadership. Our keynote speaker, Sara Nelson, International President Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, is a trailblazer and female change agent in labor movements and served as a leading voice on issues facing women in the workplace.
