Welcome to Groundbreakers! This women in leadership summit is the Toigo Foundation’s inaugural event underscoring the organization’s commitment to foster advancement and mentoring among women leaders. It’s an ideal forum for senior leaders to reach out and have a direct impact on the next generation, and for those forging their path to hear directly from exemplary role models in business, public policy and philanthropy.
The program we’ve designed is unique—a blend of interactive sessions, thought-provoking speakers and panels presenting topics designed to challenge your thinking while giving you the knowledge and tools to enhance your leadership profile.
For 20+ years, the Toigo Foundation has helped bring greater diversity into finance industry and areas of business that control capital. Our Groundbreakers Summit is building on that experience to foster conversations and connections that transcend industry lines—an important element of leadership in today’s environment.
With women leaders—and those on their way—in the room, the focus is on open sharing of knowledge and know how. Our goal throughout the day is to explore small steps that can drive big changes in the way you lead and interact with others at work and beyond.
Our line-up of prominent groundbreakers includes women from industry, government and philanthropic ventures who will share stories of leadership, learning and life. You’ll learn how these groundbreakers—some of whom have lead our nation through global crisis or pioneered new ways of operating in billion dollar sectors. We’ll discuss the presence of women at the board table and share the real truth about women via candid comments and exchange, not canned speeches. Women who have found a way to pursue mission-driven careers by combining their personal passions and professional pursuits will share their stories.
Groundbreakers will also present new talent—young professionals who are breaking through within new fields—companies you will recognize and individuals you should know. We’ll hear perspectives about career development and challenges currently being faced.
Toigo is planning to host regional gatherings around the country that will allow Groundbreakers attendees and others to continue the conversation for cross-generational knowledge sharing and forge new connections for business and friendship that spark professional success and personal growth.
We hope you join us on December 8th in New York. Space is limited, so I encourage you to register today.
