SUMMARY:2025 Women’s Symposium
DESCRIPTION:\nThe 2025 CTF/FCE Women’s Symposium, co-hosted by the Alberta Teachers’ Association, takes place May 8-10 in Banff.\n\n\n\nThe theme for this year’s Women’s Symposium, “Stand in your power,” encapsulates the essence of empowerment and self-determination. “Stand in your power” aims to inspire and educate, providing the tools and insights needed for women to assert their strengths, embrace their potential, and drive positive change in their communities and beyond.\n\n\n\nThe Symposium will bring together members, staff, and leaders from our Member and Associate Organizations as well as partner organizations to engage in meaningful discussions on the challenges and triumphs experienced by women today. This symposium is a call to action, encouraging every participant to harness their inner strength and stand firmly in their power.\n\n\n\nParticipants will have the opportunity to unite in a supportive environment, sharing experiences and strategies that foster women’s advancement. Through a series of interactive sessions, keynote speeches, and workshops, attendees will explore the various aspects of empowerment, from personal growth and professional development to advocacy and leadership.The Women’s Symposium is open to members who identify as women.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote Speakers\n\n\n\nBelow you’ll find our keynote speakers and carousel facilitators.
