International Women's Leadership Conference Set to Inspire

Bringing together women leaders from nations around the world for the sixth year in a row, Governor Lingle's International Women's Leadership Conference is a chance for Hawai`i's women to rejuvenate themselves and come away inspired.   Eight keynote speakers from eight nations around the world will share their incredible stories of success and inspire attendees.

Speakers include:

Cathrine Ann, president of the Canada-based Consumer Connection Inc., a multi-million dollar business that specializes in customer service evaluations and analysis.

Ann has earned multiple awards for her entrepreneurial spirit and she now lives in a comfortable home a world away from the streets where she once slept.

Amanda Ellis, lead specialist of gender and development for the World Bank Group. Ellis spearheads a global research program to document the ease of doing business for women in 180 countries.
