    Women’s Journey to Executive Leadership is a space to share the stories behind how we arrived at our current roles—the struggles, triumphs, and twists along the way. We’ll talk honestly about leadership, ask questions, and learn from one another's experiences. Most importantly, this is a place to find encouragement, perspective, and connection with other women navigating similar leadership journeys.

    This group is for female executive directors.
