The 12th Los Angeles County Women’s Leadership Conference took take place on Thursday, September 1, 2022 at The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in Downtown Los Angeles. The conference was packed and admission for the event SOLD OUT. The Los Angeles County Women’s Leadership Conference was created by the women of Los Angeles County Public Works as an opportunity to create their own event that inspires attendees to innovate, learn, and connect with the community.
In 2010 the first Public Works Women’s Leadership Conference was held with over 300 attendees from government, business, and the community. The one-day conference funded entirely through corporate sponsorship quickly became a much-anticipated County event. In 2015 Public Works collaborated with other Los Angeles County departments to expand the Conference’s impact which now hosts over 900 attendees.
The passion in which this event was created has continued to fuel its fire, and this year was no exception.

Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, 2nd District Supervisor, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors;
