ABOUT THE INDIANA CONFERENCE FOR WOMEN

The Indiana Conference for Women is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the educational and

professional development of women at all ages and stages of careers. Since its inception, this one day

conference has become the largest gathering of professional and entrepreneurial women in the Midwest.

This educational event plays a large role in the overall goal that the founders, Deborah Collins Stephens

and Billie Dragoo, envisioned: the building of a strong ecosystem that helps women build careers, create

companies, and experience lives that are rewarding, healthy and happy. The founders believe (and

research shows) that environments which foster the growth and development of women lead to healthier

and more resilient communities and stronger economic growth.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

When the Indiana Conference for Women began, there were very few resources for women in the

Midwest in comparison with the East and West coasts where educational resources, investment capital

and networks are stronger, larger and more established. Since its founding, there has been a proliferation

of resources aimed at serving women. Yet too many of those resources are available only in a few of

the larger cities, and are only aimed at specific segments (i.e. Lawyers, C-Suite executives, academics,

entrepreneurs and/or students.) The Indiana Conference for Women was purposely designed to provide

these resources to women from all professions and career levels.

“New to Indiana, I signed up as a volunteer for the 2017 Indiana Conference for Women hoping to network, learn, and grow both personally and professionally...But what I gained from the experience was nothing short of life-changing. I was embraced by incredible women with fortitude for giving back and empowerment that I was not expecting. By raising me up and encouraging me to share my experiences, my level of awareness was unharnessed; resulting in an unleashed giving that I did not know I possessed nor did I think would be valuable to others. I’ve kept in contact with many of the women I met at the Conference; and, in so doing, my daughter, Elizabeth, a Junior at Indiana University, was a unique beneficiary. Francesca Kennedy, Social Entrepreneur & Founder of Ix Style, was a presenter and shared the same passions as my daughter, so I connected them. Francesca offered Elizabeth a summer internship. Not only was the Conference enlightening for me, it has also made a huge impact on my daughter’s future. She can see how women turn their passions into legitimate businesses and pass on their success stories to help other women learn and grow. The gift I received from the Conference was life-changing and I am very excited to see how I can help more women have a similar experience in 2018 at the 7th Annual Indiana Conference for Women.”

“This was Honda’s first time attending the Indiana Conference for Women and what an amazing event! We were able to have 10 female leaders at different levels in our company to enjoy a day of inspirational discussion and networking. Not only were they provided with those opportunities but each of them came away with practical advice related to their personal leadership style and ways to utilize that in the workplace. Sometimes it can be hard to get out of the office, but this conference provided so much value that we can’t wait to be attend again!”
