Summary:
- The Center will hold the 2nd Women's Global Leadership Summit (International Conference on Women’s Global Leadership) on February 7, 2015. This 2nd installment focuses on what leadership is possible, and whether ”women’s leadership” is possible.

This summit gives you an opportunity to think about these together with your female predecessors who have made international career with their leadership.
