"Women Leaders in the 21st Century"

On behalf of The Swedish-American Chamberof Commerce in New York, we are delighted tohave you join us for the 4th Swedish-AmericanExecutive Women's Conference.

Since 1906 the Chamber has served as aunique and effective platform for networkingwithin the Swedish-American business commu-nity. As the first female President of the

Chamber, one of my priorities has been to initiate this annual con-ference where outstanding women from Sweden and the UScome together to compare notes, and share respective eco-nomic and cultural strengths, ultimately generating increasedbusiness opportunities between our two countries.

Our first Executive Women's Conference in New York in October2003 was a stunning success. I received countless emails andhand-written notes from participants who found the event to beinsightful, relevant and rewarding. The event has since grown insignificants and participants as shown here today.

We are proud to present so many brilliant and qualified speakers.The collective accomplishments of these executive womenacross a wide array of industries, are truly remarkable. Individually,they are leading authorities in their fields of expertise, and theirexperiences will ensure that the panel discussions will be bothdynamic and constructive.

This conference is a timely opportunity to address the new chal-lenges and increasing opportunities that women will encounter asleaders in the 21st century. The network that is forged today willharness the collective power of our talent, energy, and vision, andfurther our interest in the times that lie ahead. It is essential that wecontinue this important dialogue on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Chamber would like to welcome all of our guests from boththe U.S. and Sweden, thank our sponsors for allowing our goals tobecome reality, and express our gratitude to MargaretaLeijonhufvud of Nordea AB for being such a generous host of thisevent.
