Reshaping Our Future for Community and Impact Together!
Registration is Open for the 2025 OWLS Virtual Series and the Career Workshop Webinar Series!
The Officer Women Leadership Symposium (OWLS) Virtual Series convenes experts, thought leaders, and innovators with members of the military, government, and veteran community to explore emerging trends, strengthen skills, and transform observations into actionable insights to lead positive change.
The Career Workshop Webinar Series is designed to assist military officer and senior enlisted women in making successful career transitions after their military service. Additionally, veteran women, government leaders, and degreed military spouses who are interested in improving their career success are encouraged to attend.
We have Transformed the Officer Women Leadership Symposium (OWLS) into a Virtual Series!
MONTHLY OWLS VIRTUAL SERIES SESSIONS DESIGNED ON THEME: Power of Connection
We are pleased to announce the OWLS Series will come to you in a live VIRTUAL format, in the form of FREE monthly, 1.5-hour inspirational and informative events starting at 1pm EDT – a time we hope will be convenient for you. We will not allow you to turn on your camera, so you can join anonymously yet still be able to ask questions or share comments over chat.
The monthly virtual sessions are designed to explore important topics, deepen your insights, and build greater connection with a strong community of leaders. Five sessions feature speakers who are experts and thought leaders on the topic before opening the discussion for Q&A. Three sessions are casual virtual meetups that launch with a discussion topic, leaving time for serendipity, brainstorming, and connection. We look forward to having you join us!
