CELEBRATING WOMEN LEADERS

TEMPO Waukesha’s annual Celebrating Women Leaders event is a signature gathering that brings together professionals from Waukesha County to recognize, elevate, and learn from women who are making a meaningful impact in their industries and communities.

Join us on Tuesday, October 20th at the Brookfield Conference Center for an inspiring and engaging experience. This year’s theme, BOLD By Design, highlights the power of intentional leadership—celebrating women who lead with confidence, take strategic risks, and shape their paths with purpose. Through an engaging panel of dynamic speakers, attendees will gain insight, inspiration, and practical takeaways from leaders who embody what it means to be bold in today’s evolving workplace.

Do you know of a woman leader in our community who demonstrates being BOLD by Design?
