in life and in their careers, all for a good cause.
The best part? Each attendee will be able to give back and uplift other women, as the cost of attendance will either be a financial donation or a brand new dress, all going directly to our Mother’s Day Makeover event.
THE INITIATIVE
- Our Goal: Motivate and inspire guests by hearing success stories from women of note in tech, media, business, finance, culinary, law, STEM and more.
- Our Panel Series events will provide a luxurious conference-like setting for our attendees to relax, enjoy and learn.
- Guests will have a chance to network with successful leading women.
- Allow attendees to participate, ask questions and discover new insights to overcome their own challenges, both personally and professionally.
- Encourage guests to pay it forward by providing a new dress in exchange for attendance, which will go directly to deserving mothers at this year’s Mother’s Day Makeover event and help us serve even more women.
