Luncheon to be held Thursday, September 18, at Miramonte Resort & Spa
Women Leaders Forum of the Coachella Valley, (WLF), is pleased to announce its founder, Indian Wells City Council member Mary Roche, will keynote the organization’s annual Leadership and Networking Luncheon on Thursday, September 18 at the Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells.
Roche, who will retire from the City Council at the end of the year, along with several other local women councilmembers, will present her speech, “Women in Leadership: The Coachella Valley Needs You! Why It Is Imperative Women Step Up for Leadership Roles in Business, Politics and Beyond.”
“If women want a greater voice in our community, it is imperative they consider stepping up for leadership roles in their work place, in local government and in the community at large,” says Roche. “It concerns me that with the retirement of so many elected women in our valley, there will now be far fewer women making decisions at the local level. The mission of WLF is to empower and develop local women leaders in our community and I hope my story can inspire more than a few good women to step up and make a difference.”
This event is a must-attend and a great kick off to WLF’s 2014-15 season. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet new members, community influencers and reconnect with friends while learning about upcoming educational and networking events throughout the year.
The 11:30 a.m. event will be held at the Miramonte Resort & Spa, 45000 Indian Wells Lane. Tickets are $25 for WLF members and $35 for non-members.
Founded in 2001, the mission of Women Leaders Forum of the Coachella Valley is to empower and develop women leaders of all ages and backgrounds in our community. To date, more than $350,000 in college scholarship funds has been raised for the best and brightest enrolled in WLF’s Young Women Leaders Mentoring Program seeking higher education.
