Women Leading Government will hold its first Leadership Conference on February 27, 2020, at the Courtyard Marriott in Marlborough. WLG is an initiative of the Massachusetts Municipal Management Association whose mission is to encourage and support women working in all levels of local government to pursue positions in management.

Leshin is the first female president at WPI and has over 20 years of experience in academia and science, including working at NASA. Breakout session topics include: personal safety, personal finance, mindfulness, advancing while raising a family, serving on the front line of management, and transitioning into management positions. Speakers will include local government officials as well as academic and private sector leaders.
