WOMEN IN STEM. STANDING STRONG One of our most popular annual events, our Breakfast with Leaders and Legends features a dynamic panel of powerful women leaders whose insight, expertise, and commitment to honesty delivers on all fronts with frank talk, open conversation, and direct answers to the questions that are on your mind. Clearly there is no shortage of significant topics as we migrate the year that was and the resets taking place moving forward. Equally significant at this event is honoring nine nationally renowned women in STEM with their muchdeserved Special Recognition Awards. An empowering signature Women of Color Saturday morning!

Stay safe. And well-informed.
