The Summit, hosted by ADP, is the leading executive

development conference for women and annually

welcomes more than 1,000 mid- to senior-level power

players and C-suite executives from across the country.

This year’s conference highlights include:

The Women of Power Legacy Awards dinner

standard of success for women of color. This year’s

recipients are Ursula Burns, Chairman of Xerox Corp.;

Phylicia Rashad, Tony Award-winning actress, singer, and

stage director; Pastor Shirley Caesar, Grammy Awardwinning

CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and Ann Fudge, former

chairman and CEO of Young & Rubicam Advertising, will

talk candidly about the clearest paths to corporate power

for black women, the realities of life at the top, and what

they wish they’d known then that is crystal clear now.
