The NYC Women’s Empowerment Summit is a one-day conference designed for all women, young and old, to meet and share best practices, stories of success, and experiences both personal and professional. The goal of the summit is to create new bridges and a wider awareness of political, social and economic causes, in order to help other women reach their full potential in life.  This year’s panel of speakers will be headlined by multi-Grammy winner Roberta Flack and multi-Emmy winner Rita Cosby and includes a variety of successful women from all genres of business, workforces and life. This year the Women’s Empowerment Summit is partnering with Room21 learning systems to help finalize the development of the first social network platform exclusively for women, offering a variety of tools from office advice and crowd source funding to networking with other women around the world to further business ventures, personnel projects and ideas.  All tickets include access to the event, continental breakfast, lunch and also wine and desserts. In addition, each ticket holder will receive a gift bag containing various goodies from the Summit sponsors. Last year’s gift bag was valued at over $500.00 dollars in goodies and services!  Currently Early Bird tickets are on sale for just $75.00.  All proceeds will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The 2nd Annual NYC Women’s Empowerment Summit will be held June 23rd at the Downtown Community Television Center, 87 Lafayette Street.  The all day event starts at 10:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m.  (Doors open at 9:30am).  To purchase tickets visit:  http://alyciakabackempowerment2012.eventbrite.com/.

I had the privilege to attend last year and found it to be a great experience.  Ladies, skip that weekend in The Hamptons and check it out.
