2012 Young Women Leadership World Summit
July 29 - August 5, 2012

The University of Texas at Dallas [UTD] is the host site of A-WOW International Girls Leadership Initiative World Summit.

A-WOW 2012 World Summit [AWS] will host a selected group of young women from around the world ages, 16-21 for eight full exciting days and nights. Ambassadors as we call them will engage in various activities such as: action labs, youth advocacy community project and services, youth empowerment summit, etiquette training, fun excursions and tours hosted by [American Airlines, Alliance Airport Fort Worth, African American Employee Resource Group, Direct Selling News, Starbucks, Target, The Work of Byron Katie, WalMart] and more!

Ambassadors learn to exhibit personal and professional skills to be positive change agents for home, community, businesses, their country, and in a global economy. They successfully demonstrate a commitment to lifelong learning which includes authentic leadership development, life skills, social competencies, and character development. These skills equip them to act as resources, contributors, mentors, and volunteers in a variety of leadership roles at home, school, in the community, business and beyond.

This year's AWS aims to have an inclusive agenda addressing global young women leadership, and the under-representation, following the core development goals of the United States White House Council on Women and Girls and the United Nations Women to achieve gender equality and women empowerment.
