Dear Honoree,

The Emerging Women Leaders Conference was first developed to celebrate women like you, and to listen to what women across the state had to say. I am proud to continue this tradition with another exciting event ahead of us. This year, we will be expanding the program to include a listening session and opportunities to build networks, learn new skills and meet influential leaders. More than anything we hope to inspire you, like you inspire us.

We’re here to help you attain your leadership goals and to gain your input throughout the day. We cannot wait to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Tony McCombie
House Minority Leader
Illinois House of Representatives
