Event Theme/Topics:
Mentorship, Power, & Prosperity: A Woman’s Journey
MENTORSHIP - We’re inviting professional mentors as well as young women from local high schools to engage in conversations about the power of mentorship. Groups will gain a deeper understanding of the issues women face and how to build a strong network of support.
POWER - We’ll also discuss how women are reshaping the definition of power both in their personal lives and in the workplace: breaking down barriers, fighting imposter syndrome, and leading with intention.
PROSPERITY - Lastly, we’ll celebrate the many roles’ women hold as leaders, friends, daughters, mothers, co-workers, and mentors. We’ll discuss living a prosperous life and how to foster a community of strong women and the next generation of leaders.Video
