The summit aims to help women with strategies to lead healthy, safe and financially-stable lives, as well as enhance collaboration among women and women's organizations.

A diverse range of speakers will participate in Momentum 2010, including Governor Strickland, First Lady Frances Strickland, Pulitzer Prize winner and Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz, philanthropist Mavis Leno, and diversity and inclusion expert Audra Bohannon.
