TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Emerging Leaders program provided a forum for confidential discussions regarding real workplace issues, strategy exploration and best practices. I highly recommend this program to any woman interested in growing in her confidence and her leadership style, and growing her network of influence with similarly engaged and inspiring women.
