MetroWest Conference For Women today announced the first-ever conference designed by and for women in MetroWest. This year’s conference, themed “Own Your Extraordinary Life,” will be held September 13 and 14, 2017, at the Sheraton Framingham in Framingham, Mass.
“We are very excited about the level of enthusiasm we have received from speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and attendees for this local conference,” said Jen Maseda, President & CEO of MetroWest Conference For Women. “We look forward to bringing together the many women in our local region for a substantive discussion of real-world solutions to important issues facing women today.”
The mission of the MetroWest Conference For Women is to inspire, connect, motivate and move women through every stage along their path. The conference will bring together the local community of women during an annual full-day conference, providing an accessible and affordable opportunity for local women to make meaningful connections, share relevant perspectives, and learn from inspiring world-class speakers. There will be presentations and breakout sessions from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. with a pre-conference reception the evening of September 13 beginning at 5:30 p.m., giving attendees the opportunity to meet conference speakers.
Incorporated as a nonprofit in December of 2016, the organization has an all-volunteer Board of Directors with 23 women and one man committed to investing their time and resources for the success of the conference. Combined, Board members have over 150 years of experience in the MetroWest region in non-profit, corporate, business and government/public industries and also live in MetroWest. Knowing the needs of this region and the barriers to success that women face every day, they are committed to providing a conference for women in the region at an affordable price. The conference registration is $50 per person, which includes complimentary parking.
“The goal is to add information, resources, networking and mentoring within the MetroWest region that increases the opportunities available to women,” said Beth Reynolds, Board Member and Economic Development Director, Town of Ashland. “We believe there is plenty of room in this space for more opportunities such as these, chances to re-ignite, re-evaluate, and respond to the changing needs of women.”
The MetroWest Conference For Women plans to bring inspiration and world-class knowledge to women who otherwise might not have the chance experience it because of travel, affordability, or time constraints.
Current sponsors for the conference include, Avidia Bank, Middlesex Savings Bank, Mutual One Bank, Framingham State University, Framingham Source, Fitts Insurance, MAPA Translations Inc., with a lead sponsor to be announced in April.
