The Academy of Our Lady of Peace (OLP) will host the Eleventh Annual Women’s Symposium on Friday, March 21. Modeled after the speaker panels at leading universities, OLP’s Women’s Symposium brings together top women leaders to share their insight and pathways to success with students, the Southern California region and beyond. The Women’s Symposium will feature a series of workshops and highly curated panels with prominent leaders in their industries. Beginning over 10 years ago as a reimagining of Career Day for students, the Women’s Symposium has blossomed into a professional half-day conference open to all community members in and around the San Diego/Baja corridor, from students to seasoned business professionals. Hosted annually during Women’s History Month, OLP’s Women’s Symposium celebrates the success of powerful women and their allies. The event will leave attendees with tangible advice, pathways forward, and the inspiration of empowerment and shared connection. Through dialogue and modeling, these female leaders empower young women to stand up and confidently pursue their dreams. This year’s Keynote Panel will feature women in the craft food and beverage industry, hosted by Maya Madsen, Founder and CEO of Maya’s Cookies. Her company is America’s #1 Black-Owned Gourmet Vegan Cookie Company. The honorary chair is Dr. Irma Peñuñuri, CEO and Founder of BurgerRock Media PR Agency and OLP Alumna, Class of 2004.
