Women Leading the Future Conference Hosts Military Panel

Denyse Gordon

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This year’s Women Leading the Future Conference will feature a panel addressing Ladies America’s 2013  “Women in the Military” initiative.

Participating in the panel is the reigning Ms. Veteran America, Denyse Gordon; Deborah Parker, Chief of Strategic Communications for the Defense Logistics Agency; and Lynda Davis, Ph.D., who is a specialist in successful, sustainable services for military, veterans & their families (MVF) and board member of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS).

Through this panel, the audience will hear an open dialogue about the role of women in the military, how it has developed over the years, and what might come next.  We will hear from women in various stages of the careers, all of who served in the military.  They will offer an “insiders” perspective and share how the military may have actually served them in gaining an education and leadership skills, while addressing how skills from military service can or should transcend into employment in today’s job market or roles as entrepreneurs in business.

Ladies America is a national network of young, professional women following the motto “Women Helping Women”, connecting women to advance one another personally and professionally, ultimately creating a national voice on issues important to professional women.
