Lauren Leader-Chivee, a writer, researcher and thought leader on diversity and women\u2019s issues in the workplace and in between, is one of two keynote speakers.

She is the author of Crossing the Thinnest Line<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

North Dakotan Rebecca Undem will also share the speaker spotlight. She aims to inspire women to live BIG (Bold, Inspired, Growth-Oriented) lives and view all the detours as an opportunity to grow and evolve. She\u2019ll share relatable excerpts from her book, How Mommy Got Her Groove Back<\/span><\/em>, which encourages people to take a step back and focus on the important things in life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The conference begins with the popular Ladies\u2019 Night on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Participants can shop at a variety of vendor booths, enjoy appetizers and wine, and learn some self-defense techniques taught by the North Dakota Safety Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with keynote speakers on Thursday, Sept. 14, a panel of North Dakota women in agriculture and leadership positions will be sharing their inspiring stories.<\/span><\/p>\n
