Get ready to ignite your ambition and take charge of your career! We are thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the North Carolina Chamber's Women Lead NC conference.
This one-day conference on November 8 at the Raleigh Convention Center aims to empower women to supercharge their careers, enhance personal well-being, and achieve professional fulfillment.
The Women Lead NC conference features engaging keynote speakers, motivational sessions, informative breakout sessions, timely pop-up sessions, and abundant networking opportunities. It aims to promote women's leadership, foster advocacy, nurture mentorship, prioritize self-care, and strike the perfect work-life balance.
The opening session includes a keynote address by Judge Victoria Pratt. In "Women's Empowerment: Unleashing Your Gifts," she will share her inspiring story and offer actionable takeaways on dealing with criticism, responding to "no," and acting in the face of failure.
Other breakout sessions will cover a range of topics relevant to women's professional and personal growth. Some notable presentations include:
