2023 Women in Business Forum

Event Sponsors

Get ready for the 2023 Women in Business Forum, an enriching event spotlighting esteemed local female leaders who have greatly impacted their professional communities. Moderated by Karrie Leggett-Brown of WDAM 7, the forum will delve into contemporary issues faced by working women, offering invaluable insights and strategies to conquer challenges on the path to success.

Our distinguished panelists include Dr. Alicia Walker from Wayne-Sanderson Farms, Jessica McKinnon, PMHNP, owner of Children's Specialty Clinic in Laurel, and Alise Matthews, owner of Shug's Cookie Dough & Candy Bar and Shug's Boutique.

We are thrilled to have Liza Cirlot Looser, the founder and CEO of The Cirlot Agency, will be the keynote speaker at the Women in Business Forum. With over 38 years of experience leading her global brand strategy, public relations, and business development firm, Liza's career is a testament to innovation and tenacity. A Mississippi University for Women and Harvard Business School graduate, Liza launched The Cirlot Agency with only a $78 tax return check and turned it into a leading aerospace defense communication firm, working with giants like Textron, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing. Her keynote speech promises to be an inspirational highlight, reflecting her expertise in market intelligence, strategy, creative development, and integrated communications. Her story, achievements, and contributions to the state of Mississippi make her an ideal speaker to inspire and enlighten attendees at the Women in Business Forum.

While the forum centers on women in business, it's also open to men who wish to gain fresh insights, enhance workplace relations, and learn best practices. If you work with or supervise women or have female clients, this event will surely equip you with a newfound understanding.
