8:00 a.m. -8:30 a.m. REGISTRATION & CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST

8:30 a.m. -8:50 a.m. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION OF PANELISTS

8:50 a.m. -9:20 a.m. WOMEN ON THE WEB: LEVERAGING SOCIAL MEDIA AS A MEANS TO SUCCESSKim Matlock ‒ Wyndham Vacation Ownership

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Wikis, podcasts, blogs, RSS feeds... Social media has undeniably become ingrained in our personal and professional lives. But what exactly is “social media,” and how can we use it more successfully at work and at home? Learn how to creatively leverage social media to effect change across various industries, in your organization, and in your professional development.

9:20 a.m. -9:50 a.m. LEADING WITH AUTHENTICITY: STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS WITH YOUR OWN LEADERSHIP STYLEMargaret Pittelkow ‒ AAA Automotive

Do the accepted management styles within your organization tend to favor certain men or women, or are they not broad enough to accommodate a variety of styles? Women who aspire to leadership positions often are unsure if they should adopt certain management styles or embrace their own. While embracing others’ leadership style leads to discomfort and feels limiting to an individual, not embracing an organization’s accepted style may lead to exclusion and isolation. How do successful leaders strike a balance between their personal leadership style and the leadership style of their organization? How important is authenticity to a having an efficient and successful leadership style? How does an authentic leadership style impact the pipeline and diversity within the organization?

9:50 a.m. -10:20 a.m. LIFTING UP THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMENKeysa Minnifield ‒ Sodexo On-Site Solutions

As you climb the corporate ladder it’s incredibly important to remember to throw down a rope. This is especially true for women leaders. Increasingly women recognize that the days of women fighting for the one available executive role are behind us. Rather, women helping women, is a responsibility not a choice. Why must women help other women succeed? What responsibility do we each have in making a difference for those who follow us? How can women leaders provide organizational and personal support?

10:20 a.m. -10:50 a.m. NETWORKING BREAK

10:50 a.m. -11:20 a.m. SWITCHING YOUR CAREER: WHEN LIFE CALLS FOR A U-TURNMaría García de la Noceda ‒ Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando

College students change their majors an average of three times before they graduate. With the growing number of majors, from agroecology to homeland security, undergraduates have a difficult time limiting themselves to one field. They may ask themselves: which major reflects my true interests? Which major will help me land that dream job? While a lot of planning may be spent on finding the perfect match, many successful professionals end up in fields they had never anticipated in college. Hear from leading women who made the bold move of switching careers at different stages of their professional development. Why do women make the transition from their degree to the workforce? How do successful women adapt to the workforce and new career opportunities?
