She will lead a discussion where she addresses “Living with Intention”. Ms. Albarado and her team are passionate about helping organizations establish a culture of intention--a culture that allows them to attract, retain and engage exceptional teams.

Josie Geiger, founding partner of the Present- ing Sponsor BION, Inc., noted that their involve- ment with this year’s leadership conference stems from her company’s commitment to people first, “As a commercial contractor, we’re in an indus- try where very oſten the workers come and go. BION is different. We believe that our people are the key to our success and we’re intentional about holding onto them. With that in mind, we do ev- erything within our power to give them the tools they need to keep coming back; from workplace safety prioritization to continuing education to encouraging philanthropy.” As a woman in a male-dominated field, Geiger feels that being the kind of leader her employees want to follow is critical. She looks forward to meeting with other women of a similar mind. For a full schedule or to reserve a space, visit www. pwchamber.org/wlc2015 or call 703.368.6600.
