Nationwide is thrilled to announce their role as the lead sponsor for BLACK ENTERPRISE'S highly anticipated 2025 Women of Power Summit. This premier event, hosted by the top Black-owned digital media brand, will be held at the luxurious Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas from March 5-8, 2025. With an expected attendance of over 1,800 professional women of color, BE's CEO Earl "Butch" Graves, Jr. expresses his excitement for Nationwide's partnership, stating that it is a true testament to the insurer's commitment to uplifting Black women.
Graves continues, "We are proud and excited to have our longtime friends and partners, Nationwide, serve as sponsor for our premier event celebrating the achievement and advancement of Black women professionals. Nationwide's sponsorship confirms their ongoing dedication to the professional development and elevation of Black women in corporate America."
The theme for the 2025 Summit is "Momentum: Our Future, Our Promise, Our Power!", and it will offer a robust lineup of programming for both executive and personal development. Topics will range from career advancement and leadership to corporate boards and crisis management. Additionally, there will be discussions on important issues such as workplace trauma, gender bias, pay equity, and wealth building. As a new addition to the agenda, the Summit will also feature opportunities for Mentor Matching, A.I. boot camps, professional branding, and sessions focused on holistic wellness, including a power walk, workout, and vision boarding.
And what better way to end a day of learning and growth than to relax at the spa or hit the golf course? These are just a few of the activities that attendees can look forward to at the Summit. It's no surprise that Nationwide was eager to take on the role of lead sponsor for not just 2025, but also for 2026 and 2027. Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Ramon Jones, expresses the team's excitement for expanding their partnership with BLACK ENTERPRISE. "For more than a decade, Nationwide has proudly served as the presenting sponsor of many Black Enterprise signature events," says Jones. "As our partnership continues to evolve, we're thrilled to expand our support to include the Women of Power Summit. We look forward to participating in this important event, which has been empowering and elevating executive women for nearly 20 years."
The 2024 summit welcomed a powerhouse lineup of business leaders, including sessions with The Cut's Editor-in-Chief, Lindsay Peoples, and Tidal's Global Head of Marketing, Shar Caesar Douglass. During the 18th Annual Legacy Awards Gala, three incredible trailblazers were honored for their contributions and breakthroughs in various industries: Mellody Hobson, co-CEO of Ariel Investments; Judy Smith, Founder and President of Smith & Company; and Thasunda Duckett, CEO of TIAA.
In 2025, the summit will once again recognize and celebrate accomplished individuals who have made significant impacts in their fields. This year's honorees include Valerie Jarrett, Chief Executive Office of the Barack Obama Foundation, and Glenda McNeal, Chief Partner Officer of American Express. The prestigious award ceremony will undoubtedly be a highlight of the Summit, as it continues to honor and inspire women of power.
