A Message From the Leadership Team
On Friday, December 13th, 2013, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand hosted a multitude of women from diverse backgrounds in New York City to engage in important discussions about economic advancement for women. Panels of women shared their experiences about how current workplace policies and other challenges have affected their professional and personal success; and what steps need to be taken to allow for full economic empowerment. That message of inspiration was heard and felt – and it is with great pleasure that we announce the first Women’s Health & Economic Empowerment (WHEE) Summit in the City of Albany.
The WHEE Summit will take place Saturday, June 6, 2015, from 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m., at Albany Law School. The purpose of the Summit is to empower and inspire women to reach their fullest potential in the areas of health and wealth. The Summit will entail expert panels, networking opportunities and a market place. The market place will allow women business owners the opportunity to market their business, receive professional coaching and sell products.
This Summit was designed with you in mind. It is our hope that you will leave the Summit empowered and inspired to be your best self in every aspect of your life. Our accomplished women speakers have a message of hope and inspiration for you. The WHEE leadership team and Honorary Chairwoman Senator Kirsten Gillibrand look forward to hosting you at this year's Summit!
