Description

We are so excited to announce that Lana Oleen is our Leading Lady for our June program.  Lana has been a champion of women her whole life and she will be sharing some of her experiences in making sure your voice is heard.   Lana Oleen was a master teacher who had worked for Governor Mike Hayden before she decided to run for elected office. Her philosophy was, "if it's good for the public, it's good for both parties." As the Chair of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, she dealt with most of the controversial issues from abortion, to guns, gambling, and the military. Oleen built a measure of trust with other Senators that led to her narrowly win an election for a four-year term as Senate Majority Leader. Oleen worked effectively with both Republicans and Democrats. After leaving the Legislature, she continued to work with groups interested in public policy both in Kansas and around the country.

An empowering and insightful program that shines a spotlight on the remarkable achievements and contributions of women in the world of business. This program offers an engaging exploration of the journeys, triumphs, and challenges faced by female leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries across various industries. Through compelling discussions, thought-provoking panels, and inspiring narratives, "Women in Business: Leading Ladies" aims to celebrate the accomplishments of these trailblazing women while also fostering meaningful conversations about gender equality, leadership, innovation, and the evolving landscape of modern business.
