Based on the success of the first initial Preparing the Next Generation Girls Leadership Forum held at the 45th Annual Conference and Empowerment Summit. In the Fall of 2016, the Indiana Commission for Women (ICW) offered again the Preparing the Next Generation Girls Leadership Forum, a one-day workshop focusing on personal, social, and community leadership. The Girls Leadership Forum targeted young high school girls and women entering college who have demonstrated their desire to become leaders. The forum was held in three locations at Evansville, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne with up to forty young ladies who wanted to learn more about leadership and civic engagement

Sponsorships were available to provide participation scholarships for the Girls Leadership Forum. We intend to help young girls and women who may not be exposed to opportunities that encourage them to become civically engaged, or that inspire them to pursue public leadership. Our goal was to provide registrations free of charge to the young girls and women who participated in the Girls Leadership Forum in their community.
