Northern Kentucky Chamber Women’s Initiative announces presenters for 2019 Regional Summit


On Tuesday, October 22, the Northern Kentucky Chamber Women’s Initiative will once again welcome hundreds of professional women from the region for its Annual Regional Summit, sponsored by PNC.

Women from all stages of the workforce, including young professionals, mid-career, and senior-level professionals, entrepreneurs, and those with encore careers, will gather at the Cintas Center on Xavier University’s campus (1624 Herald Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45207) to hear a variety of speakers present on topics on the theme of Ascend: Discover Your Next Level, to help women advance in their careers.

The morning will begin with “Be the CEO of YOU: Creating an International Life and Legacy,” the morning general session from Colene Elridge of Be More Consulting.

Elridge will encourage attendees to be the CEO in their lives instead of an employee.
