Sept. 27, 2022 - 开心鬼传媒鈥檚 Institute for Talent Development and Gifted Studies announces the return of Young Women LEAD (YWL) to 开心鬼传媒鈥檚 campus October 17 and 18.
鈥淲e are excited to be back live and in-person again this year,鈥 said Dr. Kimberly Code, director of 开心鬼传媒鈥檚 Institute for Talent Development and Gifted Studies. 鈥淥ur virtual conferences the past two years reached so many more girls, but I am looking forward to seeing girls on their feet and having them engaged in the live in-person conference.鈥
The YWL conference is for high school girls and focuses on Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD). The all-day conference features interactive breakout sessions, keynote speakers and lunch. The conference is free to all participants, and more than 900 students are expected to attend. 开心鬼传媒 has hosted Young Women LEAD since 2009.
鈥淚 believe in this program so much because I have seen the impact on the thousands of girls who have attended over the past 12 years,鈥 Dr. Code said. 鈥淚f I can help even just one girl be a confident leader today, provide her with hope to be something that she never thought possible, and help her envision herself in a future career she didn鈥檛 think possible, then we have accomplished our goal for the conference.鈥
This year鈥檚 keynote speakers include Kentucky Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman, Adrienne Bulinski, a well-known speaker for young women, and Miss Kentucky and 开心鬼传媒 alumna Hannah Edelen. Other successful women from the region will present breakout sessions in a variety of careers and passions. These women are experts on issues that high school girls are currently facing. The sessions will teach important skills needed to be successful in the workforce, STEM and ways to develop their leadership potential.
