Nevada State Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto will present the keynote address to the sixth annual National Education for Women's (NEW) Leadership Nevada conference at UNLV.

NEW Leadership is an award-winning program developed in 1991 by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University to educate and empower the next generation of women leaders. The program came to Nevada in 2001 through the efforts of the Women's Research Institute of Nevada in the UNLV College of Liberal Arts. New Leadership Nevada is sponsored by the State of Nevada; Harrah's Entertainment, Inc.; Altria Corporation; MGM Grand; and Soroptimists International.

NEW Leadership Nevada consists of a 6-day summer institute that brings together 25 college students from across the state to learn about women's leadership and civic participation from accomplished women leaders. Students meet formally and informally with these leaders through a series of panels, lectures, and interactive workshops and create lasting networks and mentoring relationships. Program speakers come from a variety of backgrounds, including law, business, politics, education, community activism, non-profit organizations, banking, gaming, small business, real estate, and more.
