2019 Joint Women’s Leadership Symposium
The Annual Joint Women’s Leadership Symposium is the largest gathering of military uniformed women. The Symposium focuses on mentorship and networking at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C., in Washington, D.C., Aug 22, 2019. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt James Harvey).

What? Yes, its true! The largest gathering of military women in uniform worldwide, Joint Women’s Leadership Symposium (JWLS), were brought together in Washington D.C. with over 1,000 women and men participating for professional development and networking. I am honored to have served as the host celebrating leadership, introducing our professional development and networking speakers and panel members. Our theme, “Building Bridges, Changing Culture” was integrated across forums, panels, workshops and speaker spotlights. Servicemen and women were from all Department of Defense branches and the US Coast Guard, NOAA, international representatives and civilians to directly address the issues faced by those who serve.
