The Business Women’s Forum is Connecticut’s longest running conference for women in the state devoted to professional and personal development. Throughout the day, attendees will hear from a variety dynamic speakers and trainers, get the opportunity to network with hundreds of other professional women, and get the chance to win prizes.

Lunden, an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, television host, and motivational speaker, has been a trusted voice in American homes for more than 40 years. For nearly two decades, Lunden greeted viewers each day on Good Morning America—making her the longest running female host ever on early morning television. Lunden has graced the front of more than 60 magazines and book covers.
The event will also feature motivational speaker Kymberli Speight: an author, professional speaker, and workshop facilitator. Her forte and passion is helping leaders and the individuals they lead rapidly expand their network and effectiveness by learning how to develop elite people skills and foster trust. Also speaking will be Robyn Greenspan, MS, a skilled wordsmith with the soul of a journalist, the mind of a marketer, and the heart of a storyteller.

As it has always done, the Business Women’s Forum will continue its tradition of supporting young women pursuing a career in business through the distribution of scholarships to Post University. Scholarship recipients will be announced prior to the event. Since the inception of the event, more than $250,000 raised from the Business Women’s Forum has gone towards these scholarships.
