The conference will also host 21 presenters, all of whom have decades of professional leadership experience in a variety of fields, such as psychology, ministry, mathematics, and communications. Some of these presenters currently serve as Pepperdine faculty members, including Stephanie B. Blondell, Bernice Ledbetter, Regan Harwell Schaffer, and Helen Easterling Williams.

In alignment with the mission of CWIL, the goal of this one-day conference is to contribute to a sense of preparedness for professional advancement, influence, and impact for women of all ages and at all stages of their careers.
