Leadership in local government takes resilience, courage, creativity, and connection. The KLC Women in City Government Summit is designed to celebrate, strengthen, and support the women who serve our communities — and the colleagues who stand beside them.

This empowering one-day summit brings together mayors, city managers, commissioners, clerks, attorneys, finance professionals, public safety leaders, and more, along with partners and allies who believe in developing and elevating women in public service.

Why Attend?

Because women in city leadership face unique challenges and bring exceptional strengths. This summit will help you:

  • Recharge and refocus with inspiring speakers and real-world leadership insight.
  • Build a powerful network of women leaders and supportive allies across Kentucky.
  • Gain tools you can use immediately to lead confidently and effectively.
  • Be encouraged and affirmed by women who understand your journey.
  • Celebrate the impact women are making in every corner of the commonwealth.

Whether you’re a seasoned city leader, newly elected, building your career, or someone who strongly supports women leading in government, you belong in this room.

Plus:

  • Engaging keynote speakers
  • Meaningful conversation and peer connection
  • Interactive learning experiences
  • Opportunities to share stories, strategies, and solutions
  • A welcoming, energizing environment designed for growth

Optional Pre-Conference — Wednesday, March 4
