PRINCE GEORGE–The first northern Leadership and Entrepreneur Accelerator Program (LEAP) Conference for Women in Business is set to take place this fall through a partnership between Community Futures Fraser Fort George and Western Economic Diversification.

The virtual conference will be held from September 29 through October 1 and is geared at helping women break down barriers in their professional lives; whether it is starting or expanding their business, taking their place as leaders, or moving into male-dominated sectors.

“With the funding support from Western Economic Diversification Community Futures Fraser Fort George is able to launch our very first LEAP Conference. We are also extremely excited to be able to offer the conference in a digital format as it enables those who may not otherwise be able to attend the opportunity to participate.”–Susan Stearns, General Manager Community Futures Fraser Fort George

The virtual conference helps break down financial barriers for those who may not have been able to travel to participate in an in-person conference in the north. Participants will be able to connect with keynote speakers, exhibitors and other participants on their personal computers or mobile devices.
