This year’s theme, “Engineering Their Lives: Women Choose, Excel and Lead,”reflects the individual choices women make about their personal and professional lives, and affords speakers a broad forum to discuss challenges, goals and dreams. “This amazing event reflects one of the principal mission goals of The Alturas Institute, that of promoting women’s rights, interests and opportunities,” said Dr. David Adler, president of the Institute. “Our event is neither political nor partisan, but rather a forum to listen and learn from key women leaders who have shaped, and will continue to shape, the future of our community and the nation.”
