Together with presenting sponsor Chase, the Leadership Louisville Center hosts 100 Wise Women events to bring successful women leaders – Wise Women – together with emerging women leaders to make space for strength and leadership to be acknowledged and celebrated. The events make it possible for women to build a network that will grow their confidence, courage, and connections.

The 2023 event series will feature four unique and dynamic women leaders, including one of the top female financial leaders in the region, a business owner and mother of Grammy-nominated music star, a technology entrepreneur, and a highly respected communications leader and champion of equity, health, and inclusion. These events foster deep, meaningful connection that go beyond your typical “networking.”

The first event on May 10 will feature keynote speaker, Diane Medley, who for over four decades has been a trailblazer – taking on leadership roles in her profession (as the first woman to do so in our region), growing businesses to be among the top in the U.S., and taking on influential roles in the community. She’s received numerous awards and high-level recognition for her achievements and promises to deliver wise words to event attendees.
