CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky. (Feb. 16, 2024) – In celebration of Women’s History Month, Thomas More University invites area professionals to attend the 2024 Women’s Conference which occurs on March 15. This one-day, interactive conference on the University’s Crestview Hills, Kentucky campus is designed to enlighten, engage, and challenge women to seek more within their lives and careers. This year’s Conference explores the topic of “Our Responsibility to Others” within different sectors. The conference topic seeks to inspire audience members of various ages and professions to reflect on the University’s core tenant of responsibility to others and what it means in our individual lives.

“Every year, we have the privilege of choosing a theme that elevates our values as a university, while also incorporating the stories of our alumni and wider Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati community,” says Courtney Kleier, the University’s director of alumni engagement & annual giving. “This year we take inspiration from our mission statement to ask: ‘What is our responsibility to others?’ I cannot wait for attendees to hear from an incredible line of up of women who give witness to the impact that each of us can have on our communities: through public service, health care, hospitality, and so much more. Join us!”

The schedule provides time for networking and includes established speakers from throughout the region. Payton Marshall of Fox19 NOW serves as emcee with the keynote address delivered by Alecia Webb-Edgington, president of the Life Learning Center. Webb-Edgington is a fixture in the non-profit sector and has been recognized as a Northern Kentucky Tribune Newsmaker, received the Northern Kentucky Chamber Community Award, the Front-Line Award through the Coalition for Public Safety, the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission Community Partner of the Year, named an Outstanding Women of Northern Kentucky, and is recipient of the Kenton County Pioneer Award, to name a few of the accolades she has garnered.
