"The members of PPW are excited about this opportunity to partner with Leadercast and make Paducah, Kentucky a host site," said Maggie Armon, PPW Professional Development Chair. "To bring the women of our region together takes the mission of PPW and our professional development programming to the next level."

Leadercast Women is the annual one-day conference gathering leaders across the world to learn from exceptional women, network with fellow attendees and begin the journey to becoming better leaders. Featuring an all-female lineup of speakers, this is the latest offering from the Leadercast team. Last year, nearly 1,000 women and men attended live in Atlanta and nearly 10,000 more attended at broadcast locations around the world.

"We are so excited to broadcast Leadercast Women again," says Leadercast president Angela Raub. "We believe these amazing speakers will use their unique perspectives and diverse backgrounds to further our mission and help attendees better themselves as leaders. We invite anyone who wants to accelerate their leadership journey to join us for Leadercast Women 2018."
