Created in response to the success of BioNJ's first Inspiring Women in STEM Conference in 2015, this Inspiring Women in STEM Symposium featured a morning of inspiration, learning and professional development. Held at the Institute for Life Science Entrepreneurship/Kean University, STEM professionals of all levels participated in an interactive discussion on "Becoming Your Own Best Advocate".

A panel of accomplished leaders shared examples, stories and case studies on how to use and strengthen your negotiation skills and cultivate your influencing capabilities to impact your daily life on both a personal and professional level.
