Not Just Another
Leadership Conference
Toledo natives Jason and Kelli Daniels, president/chief
operating officer and vice president of operations,
respectively, know a thing or two about leadership. They
have a defined record of leadership excellence, consulting
with people and organizations to grow leadership
effectiveness, scale impact, grow local and national
partnerships and advance philanthropic effectiveness.
This dynamic husband and wife team have an impressive 30
years of combined expertise in corporate, faith-based,
nonprofit, government and higher education arenas,
delivering keynotes and workshops throughout the United
States and internationally.
Homework Lead Them to This
Point
For over a year, conversations were held with leaders of
local and national companies, diversity and human resources
experts, and community leaders from across the state of Ohio
and Washington D.C. about the importance of growing
African-American and minority talent within their
organizations. Those conversations helped design a
conference built from the expertise and desired needs of
successful companies and community leaders.
A central theme of those conversations is that communities
and companies need standout professionals with exceptional
talent who know how to leverage their influence in the
workplace and beyond. The Daniels agreed this would be a
great opportunity to bring to the region.
The Importance of Allies
Culturally, African-American professionals harness diverse
experiences and sometimes complex perspectives in the
workplace and community as they ascend to leadership and
executive roles at companies or launch and grow their
businesses. What makes L.I.F.T. 2017 – MIDWEST unique is
that the conference planners recognize that everyone at work
and in the community plays a role in the support and
advancement of those professionals.
This is an inclusive conference that welcomes allies –
individuals in organizations and communities who value and
champion diversity, promote recruitment, advancement,
development and retention of African-American
professionals. This conference will provide insights for
how non-African-American professionals and advocates can be
more of a support to their African-American counterparts in
the workplace, board room and community.
What to Expect
Conference attendees will gain exposure to a diverse roster
of executive level leaders, advocates and change-making
entrepreneurs during sessions that are culturally relevant,
engaging and fun. The conference begins with a Wednesday
night opening reception and keynote speaker. Thursday
consists of exhibitors and full day conference sessions.
The day ends with an influencer party to give attendees an
opportunity to meet speakers and other guests – a premier
networking opportunity.
