Women In Leadership Breakfast

2026 Theme: Upping Your Game

Leadership Boosts for Mind, Body, and Soul

Leadership is about more than what you accomplish; it's about how you grow.

This year's Women in Leadership Breakfast brings together an inspiring lineup of leaders from sports, business, entrepreneurship, and marketing to explore what it means to lead with purpose, resilience, and authenticity.

Hear from Kellyn Smith Kenny (AT&T), Avery Barnes, Betti Fujikado, Sheridan Blanford (Seattle Storm), Allyson Gormley, and Ruchika Malhotra, with one additional panelist to be announced, as they share personal stories, leadership lessons, and practical insights designed to help you elevate your career and expand your impact.
