First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom to Headline 3rd Annual Women’s Impact Summit October 7 in Oakland

The Bay Area Council is excited to announce that California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom will headline our third annual Women’s Impact Summit on Wednesday, Oct. 7 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the PG&E Auditorium in Oakland. Siebel Newsom is a leading voice for gender equity and the advancement of women and girls. And a number of her key initiatives have been focused on Oakland.

The Summit convenes women executives, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders for a morning focused on leadership, economic opportunity, and the policies shaping the future of women in the Bay Area workforce. The Summit has drawn strong turnout in each of its first two years, so we encourage members to reserve a spot early.

“The Women’s Impact Summit has become one of the most energizing mornings on our calendar,” said Libby Schaaf, President and CEO of the Bay Area Council. “It brings together women who are shaping this region’s economy and civic life, and it gives them a room where the conversation is candid and the connections last. I hope every member joins us in Oakland on October 7.”

Sponsoring the Summit is one of the most direct ways to support women’s leadership in our region. Sponsors gain visibility with a senior audience of women executives and civic leaders, and their support makes the program possible for members across the Bay Area. A range of levels is available.

We are grateful for their time and their commitment to elevating women’s leadership across the region.
