The 28th annual Women’s Leadership Colloquium @ UMW will feature keynote speaker Fran Hauser, an author, startup investor and speaker at the intersection of women’s empowerment, career fulfillment and collective wellbeing. As a longtime media executive, Fran has always championed the power of content in shaping culture, educating the public and driving awareness of important issues.

She is the best-selling author of The Myth of the Nice Girl: Achieving a Career You Love Without Becoming a Person You Hate, which has been translated into six languages and was named “Best Business Book of the Year, 2018” by Audible. Fran’s new book, Embrace the Work, Love Your Career, is quickly becoming the go-to for women seeking more joy and fulfillment in their career. Fran regularly speaks at conferences and organizations to help women build careers they love while staying true to themselves.

The daylong event, which also includes a variety of enriching seminars, will be held on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the University of Mary Washington’s Stafford Campus. Registration is required.
