"The in-person format required us to be intentional to focus on ourselves and the others in the cohort."
"I loved the wide range of leadership topics, and all of the speakers were very knowledgeable
and brought great energy"
"It was clear that each speaker was well versed in her topic(s) and passionate about
education."
"I loved the opportunity to do activities as part of this program. From charcuterie boxes to cooking class and even flight training - those were great opportunities to bond and provided fun take-home skills and memories."
