The two-day event at Caesars Atlantic City features inspiring executive TED-style talks with leading executives, dynamic breakout sessions to help attendees succeed professionally, extensive networking opportunities, and one-on-one coaching sessions. Résumé building, LinkedIn profile makeovers and a photographer providing professional headshots will be available to interested attendees as well.

“Few people are born leaders; we need role models and mentors whose effective communication, negotiation and leadership skills show us the way to raise our professional profile and make important career connections,” said NJBIA President & CEO Michele Siekerka said. “The NJBIA Women Business Leaders Forum offers opportunities to network with and learn from the very best.”

The Sept. 28 TED-style talk will feature two prominent New Jersey women: Jaynee LaVecchia, a retired New Jersey Supreme Court justice who served on the state’s highest court for over 21 years and is now a partner at McCarter & English; and self-made entrepreneur Marjorie Perry, the CEO of MZM Construction & Management Co. who speaks to women at professional conferences throughout the U.S. on how to successfully navigate shark-filled waters in the world of business.

On Sept. 29, the TED-style talk will feature professional insights from Brenda Ross-Dulan, founder and managing principal of The Ross-Dulan Group; Mollie Marcoux Samaan, commissioner of the Ladies Professional Golf Association; Carol Stillwell, president & CEO of Stillwell-Hansen, and Nikki Sumpter, executive vice president and chief administrative officer for Atlantic Health System.
