Our one-day conference is a dynamic forum, bringing together women from multifaceted backgrounds in public administration, elected office, and government service. At this summit, we aim to cultivate a nurturing environment that fosters empowerment and inspiration, encouraging women to pursue and excel in careers within public service, elected positions, appointed roles, and advocacy endeavors.

This year, our thematic focus delves deep into the crucial imperative of enhancing public trust in government through the lens of ethics.

Through insightful sessions and interactive discussions, attendees will explore strategies and best practices for navigating ethical dilemmas, fostering constructive discourse, mastering crisis communication, and promoting ethical public engagement.

The diverse array of session topics encompasses in-depth explorations of the pivotal role of ethical leadership in cultivating public trust, the significance of adhering to a Code of Ethics in public service, and the implementation of effective strategies for recovering from ethical breaches while upholding public confidence, including an examination of the ethical responsibilities of journalism in the Texas government.

Join us as we equip and empower women within the public sector to serve as catalysts for positive change and advancement, propelling Texas toward a future characterized by ethical governance and inclusive leadership.
