Distinguished Speakers Series

The Distinguished Speakers Series (DSS) are short, deep-dive events that are held in partnership with premier institutions of higher learning and organizations committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.  The DSS brings together our partners’ mutual commitments to promote women’s leadership in a diverse world, research, critical thinking and innovative problem-solving regarding the evolving world of women’s leadership in critical disciplines.  These events gather leaders from the military, veteran, government and civilian communities, who are regarded as problem-solvers and thought leaders, to collectively tackle challenges, spark innovations, and inspire positive change.  Distinguished women leaders, and our supporters, from around the world are expected to attend.

To partner or sponsor a future DSS event, contact the DSS Team for more information.
