2024 WTS International Signature Leadership Training
October 8-11, 2024
Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel | Arlington, VA
Leading the Way: Training for Transportation Innovators
It will take strong leadership to develop a future of transportation that is equitable, secure, and accessible. This new generation of leaders will need to be innovative, creative, and compassionate. The WTS International Signature Leadership Program prepares women to guide the future of the industry. Participants hear from expert facilitators and speakers, practice effective management skills, learn how to assess risk, and develop other professional skills that will advance not only their own careers, but those who use transportation services in their communities.
Split into two program tracks, WTS International's Executive Leader Program is targeted toward women leaders preparing for the highest levels of management — setting strategic directions, making decisions to stay on course, and maneuvering through change. The WTS Mid-Career Leadership Program provides the building blocks necessary for advancement in participants' established career paths — identifying foundational strengths and building critical skills.
Fall Women Business Owner's Roundtable
WTS members who are women business owners are invited to apply to apply for the Fall 2024 WTS Women Business Owner’s Roundtable (WBORT).
