I used to dread certain meetings.
You know the ones—where people talk over each other, nothing gets decided, and you wonder why you even showed up.

But then I realized: meetings are where leadership shows up—not just in the agenda, but in your presence, your poise, and your contribution.

Whether it’s a formal boardroom, a video call, or an impromptu hallway chat—how you show up in the moment shapes how others see you.

That’s why I wrote this piece—to help women step into their power and show up with purpose.

✨ Reflecting on an Incredible Two Days at the ACI AI Law, Ethics, Safety & Compliance Conference ✨

Last week, I had the honor of serving as Co-Chair of this year’s program — and what an energizing and insightful experience it was!

The conference brought together an exceptional community of legal, compliance, and policy professionals for fireside chats, strategy sessions, and roundtable discussions focused on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: AI governance.

Across every session, a few key themes emerged:
💡 The need to operationalize AI principles like transparency, fairness, and accountability.
🤝 The importance of aligning AI governance with organizational values and public trust.
🌍 The growing complexity of navigating regulatory divergence — across states, federal agencies, and global jurisdictions.
🧭 And above all, the shared commitment to building ethical, human-centered AI systems that elevate both innovation and integrity.

I’m deeply grateful to my Co-Chair Christin McMeley, our outstanding speakers, and the American Conference Institute (ACI) team for curating such a thoughtful and forward-looking agenda.

AI governance is not a destination — it’s a journey. And conferences like this remind us that the best way to shape the future responsibly is through collaboration, dialogue, and shared purpose.
