The City of Redmond’s Youth Partnership Advisory Board (RYPAC) is sponsoring its sixth conference for girls interested in learning and sharing how their voice can be heard.

“Speak Up and Be Heard!” is for high school-age girls only and will take place from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. this Saturday at Redmond City Hall, 15670 N.E. 80th St.

The conference features local women professionals from Puget Sound Energy, Pat Graney Dance, Washington State Supreme Court and KIRO TV, as well as Redmond City Council member Kim Allen. Speakers will share their stories about their experience as females in leadership roles and how their voices are heard. The cost is $10, which includes lunch.

Attendees have called this event “inspiring” and have noted, “how great it was to hear how they failed and learned from their mistakes and how they balanced what they did with what they love.”
