Thank you for joining us at the 18th annual conference on Saturday, November 4, 2023!

Throughout the day, we focused on how we must all own our career trajectory, manage self-care as professionals, and ride the waves of economic volatility - among other relevant topics! Celebrating the three T's of philanthropy, our lunch panel discussed how they choose to give back using their time, talent, and treasure inspiring us all to consider the many ways we can be women for others.
