Some testimonials from young women whom IBC has sent to NCCWSL:
I was able to learn about how other female leaders are making a difference in the world, and I came up with new ideas that would be interesting to implement in the future. One of the best things about this conference was the friends that I made with the women who attended along with me.—Sophie P.
Attending NCCWSL and getting the opportunity to surround myself with inspiring, ambitious, hard-working women from all walks of life was hugely encouraging for me, especially as a woman of color. The conference’s commitment to diversity and to creating a positive environment is unmatched and attending was an invaluable experience that I wish all women could have.—Sharon P.
I was encouraged and motivated by the many testimonies and experiences that were shared at the NCCWSL Conference.—Janet K.
The NCCWSL conference was a major show of female power, inspiration, and radical vulnerability for me when I needed it most.—Liz K.
