MARINA DEL REY, Calif., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Helping women grow as leaders and financial professionals is the objective of the Women's Leadership Forum being held June 10 at the Marriott Marina del Rey.

The day-long forum, sponsored by the California CPA Education Foundation and the California Society of CPAs (CalCPA), is designed to provide leadership strategies and success tools for women, whether they are emerging professionals or are more established in their careers. A series of break-out sessions will focus on such topics as personal branding, strategies for recruiting and developing women leaders, and achieving results while managing stress, career and family demands.

Joi S. Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide, will discuss resources and tools to help women succeed in the marketplace. Donna J. Miles, associate professor of clinical management communication for the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, will talk about how women can rise as leaders in their organizations.

A special lunchtime celebration will recognize California's top women CPAs and their contributions to the profession.

"If you are a woman in the financial services professions, you'll find this forum will be brimming with ideas and tips that will make you a more valuable resource to your colleagues and clients," says Loretta Doon, CEO of CalCPA and the Education Foundation. "What's more, you'll get to meet and network with fellow professionals and make connections that could help you advance your career to the next level."

Forum registration information is available at http://www.calcpa.org or by calling (800) 922-5272.

To assist disadvantaged women who are trying to reenter the workforce and achieve economic independence, attendees are being encouraged to donate to Dress for Success, which will accept new or almost new women's professional attire at the conference.
