High school girls and their chaperones are invited to join us for this minds-on, interactive virtual conference designed to inspire these young women to believe in their qualities and strengths, and to challenge them to believe in a higher level of personal growth and development. This year's conference will feature award-winning presenters Julie Marie Carrier, Maryam Rehman, Nivaal Rehman, and Monique Coleman.

Additionally she is recognized as the #1 Coach in the World for Young Women by Leading Global Coaches/Thinkers 50. Julie is also the #1 National Bestselling author of Girls Lead and is featured in Chicken Soup for the Extraordinary Teen Soul and the Success Principles for Teens.

Because of her work as thought leader in student leadership education, Julie is one of only 100 people worldwide to be named as one of the Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches, along with the Dean of Harvard Medical School, the President of the World Bank and the CEO of the Rockefeller Foundation. She has reached over a million teens, young women, and those who care about them, worldwide.

Monique Coleman is most recognized as Taylor McKessie from the tremendously successful High School Musical franchise, as well as the 4th place contestant on season 3 of ABC's hit show, Dancing with the Stars. Additionally, this Teen Choice Award and Billboard Award Winner has co-hosted The View, appeared on such shows as Rachael Ray, Good Morning America, The Today Show, Ellen, and The Tyra Banks Show.

She is a Champion for UN Foundation's Global Girls Program, "Girl Up" and is Allstate Foundation's "Good Starts Young Ambassador."

Maryam and Nivaal Rehman became activists when they were eight years old, and started inspiring girls in their village in Pakistan to continue their education, when poverty was leading them to quit school and work instead. The now 18-year-old twins have since worked in their local and global community for causes including girls' education in Pakistan and around the world, climate justice, gender equality and inclusivity. They even have their own non-profit, The World With MNR, that uses advocacy, storytelling and development to take action and inspire others to do the same. They are continuing their activism through volunteering, traveling and sharing their experiences through their social media and their YouTube channel, The World With MNR. They've used their platform to cover several events - from the Social Good Summit in New York City, to the Girl Up Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. - and interview global figures, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, and Madame Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the IMF. Their activism has led to recognition in media and several awards, including the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award (now the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers). Most recently, they released their documentary on the status of girls' education in Pakistan, and held global screenings to spark further conversation and inspire audience members to take action themselves.

Thank you for sharing our conference with your students. If you have any questions, I can be reached at kimberly at youngwomenlead.com<mailto:kimberly at youngwomenlead.com>. We look forward to seeing you and your students September 24 or 25th.
