Shari Dunn will deliver our Keynote address, Unmasking
Imposter Syndrome. This session aims to delve deep into how
imposter syndrome impacts women's self-perception and
misdirects efforts toward individual adjustments rather than
addressing systemic issues in the workplace. These insights are
drawn from her book under contract with Harper Business,
expected in 2025.

Who We Are
About Rose City Women’s Summit
The first Rose City Women's Summit was hosted in 2017 and over the years has evolved through virtual and hybrid iterations. This year we are trying out a breakfast format with two speakers, networking and community (no breakout sessions). Past events have attracted as many as 275 individuals and speakers have included Her First 100K's Tori Dunlap and Tarana Burke, one of the founders of the me too movement. This event is open to the entire Portland community, and is for anyone looking to grow their leadership skills and make a difference.
