Women’s Leadership Summit: Reframing the Alpha Female
Bassford Remele proudly announces its Second Women’s Leadership Summit. Join us for an invigorating discussion with Minnesota women business leaders.
Our panelists will discuss what it means to be an “alpha female.” Through this discussion, the panel will explore the conventional perceptions of women in leadership positions. What is working? What isn’t? How can we dismantle the misconceptions, limitations, and often damaging tropes and stereotypes surrounding powerful women and reframe what it means to be an “alpha female?”

- Erikka Ryan, Director of Equity, Inclusion and Foundations, Minnesota State Bar Association
- Jennifer Thompson, Regional General Counsel, Ames Construction
- Lola Velazquez-Aguilu, Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, Neuromodulation at Medtronic
