Thursday, September 10, 2009
The opening reception of the Network of Executive Women’s 2009
Leadership Summit will feature remarks by one of the consumer products and
retail industry’s most influential executives.
Brian Cornell, the recently appointed president and chief
executive officer of Sam’s Club, will speak at the NEW Summit’s opening reception
and buffet, which begins at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, October 12 at the Sheraton
Dallas Hotel in Dallas.

event (those already registered for the Summit do not need to take any further
