Leadership SiG: It's a Woman's World

Join us for our Leadership Special Interest Group (SIG):

It's a Woman's World

Program Description: 

This one is for the ladies (and the people who support them). Together, we will explore what it means to be a woman in leadership, the associated challenges, and the perspectives we should consider to effectively support each other. This is a tough topic so let's face it head on. You may agree or disagree with the message, but this session will encourage you to pause, think, and consider a new point of view.

This is an in-person event with Zoom connectivity

Location:

Cross First Bank -
