Arkansas State University issued the following announcement on Mar. 21.
The Women’s Leadership Center in the Neil Griffin College of Business at Arkansas State University is committed to its mission of cultivating confident and capable girls and women to set and achieve high goals.
One of the avenues for carrying out that commitment is the center’s annual Women’s Leadership Conference. After a break in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, this year’s conference, which will be the sixth annual, is on track for Tuesday, April 12, at the A-State campus.
The opening plenary session features a keynote address by Pat Keel, executive vice president, chief financial and administrative officer, for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. She will speak at 9:30 a.m. in Centennial Hall of the Reng Student Union. Keel, an A-State alumna, was featured in a recent issue of Voices, the A-State Alumni Association magazine.
Scholarship awards, along with recognition of individuals comprising the Founders Circle and other advocates for the center, will follow. The Founders Circle began as a group of 30 successful professional women who committed financial resources and time to serve as mentors and advisers to young women.
Dr. Patricia Quinn Johnston, chair of the Women’s Leadership Conference Committee and faculty coordinator for the Women’s Leadership Center, expressed her optimism for a memorable conference.
