RECENTLY appointed US Consul General Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau has been confirmed as guest speaker for the 2018 Women in Business Awards in Belfast's Crowne Plaza Hotel on November 8.

Appointed just last month, Ms Trudeau’s most recent assignment was at Lahore in Pakistan, where she served as the US Consul General.

Prior to that, she served among other leading roles as the Department of State’s director for press operations and as a Department spokesperson in Washington DC.

Women in Business chief executive Roseann Kelly said: “Ms Trudeau is an extremely inspirational woman with a wealth of knowledge and experience to impart to our very own inspirational finalists and guests, and I am looking forward to hearing her insights and advice.

“This year we have received an outstanding level, over 160 submissions, of high calibre entries from a really diverse cross-section of women and have been truly blown away by the standard of our home grown talent.

"The gala event - which acknowledges, rewards and celebrates women from all sectors and industries in Northern Ireland including business women and entrepreneurs - promises to be yet another exciting evening of celebration and networking.”
