The goal of Women and Leadership Weekend is to unite students and alumnae to promote the role of women and leadership and to create lasting mentorship opportunities.
The Women and Leadership conference is named for distinguished Bethany alumna Ann Wilkin Trombadore, a native of Wheeling, W.Va., who grew up in Wellsburg, W.Va. She graduated magna cum laude from Bethany with a degree in economics in 1951 and received her law degree from the University of Michigan in 1954.
Trombadore was an active member of the Bethany College Board of Trustees for more than two decades, was the recipient of the Distinguished Service to Alma Mater award in 1996 and was made an Emeritus Life Trustee member following the 1998-99 school year.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 symposia, but it will return March 25 and 26.
