A-WOW International Girls Leadership Initiative (A-WOW IGLI) will host its Annual Mentoring Symposium “The Core of Your Choices” on September 30 - October 1, 2011. A-WOW IGLI is a global, female-based initiative that prepares girls, ages 16-21, to assume active leadership roles in their community and global society.
This ultimate mentoring symposium is a two-day retreat of empowerment, enrichment and education. It will provide a unique, cross-cultural learning experience via lectures, workshops and team-building exercises that will focus on Making Choices, Leadership Skills, Self-Empowerment, Health, and Community Services.
The Symposium will be a gathering of influential experts, prominent individuals, emerging business and community leaders who will provide professional expertise, and guidance of what it takes to be a successful leader in a competitive and globalizing world.
This event promises to promote, spotlight, and amplify the work and leadership skill of each participating youth and will serve as a catalyst for A-WOW IGLI to continue developing its mentoring programs geared towards cultivating the next generation of innovative leaders. The opportunity will prove to be life changing and have a lasting effect.
