Inforum Golf Classic Events Support Programs that Help Women Lead and Succeed in the Workplace

Inforum Golf Classics will be held at Twin Lakes Golf and Swim Club Oakland Township on June 11 and the Country Club ofLansing on July 21.

Proceeds will benefit the Inforum Center for Leadership (ICL), a non-profit organization that conducts research and offers highly regarded leadership development programs that allow women to challenge themselves and reach the next level in their careers.

ICL is privately funded through corporate investors and by the individuals who participate in ICL leadership training programs.

Funds raised at the Inforum Golf Classics support Inforum Center for Leadership programs such as:

* Executive Leadership, a highly rated, six-month leadership development course for women that competes with more expensive programs across the country. Nearly 500 women have graduated from the course since it was established by some ofMichigan's most influential businesswomen in 2002.

* Executive Presence is a one-day workshop where women learn how to enhance their confidence, stature and command of skills needed to deliver a strong personal presence to help reach their leadership goals.

* Inforum Center for Leadership collects data on women's leadership and issues the bi-annual Women's Leadership Index that is used by corporations that are committed to building a diverse workforce.
