ALTER readers of all ages spent the afternoon at The Umstead Hotel & Spa May 6 for WINi, the sister event of WALTER’s annual WINnovation. WINi celebrated girl power with five female speakers, local leaders who shared their personal creative and professional stories: successes, hurdles, lessons. The men and women of the audience, movers and shakers and thinkers themselves, listened with emotion and enthusiasm to tales of perseverence, self-confidence, and passion. This first annual WINi showcased the power of what women can do for their community. “We’ve got fabulous women leaders right here in the Triangle. We don’t need to go outside the community to find inspiration. What’s a more compelling way to demonstrate to women in our community that they too can contribute to a lot of our success?” said Kari Stoltz, Triangle market president at Bank of America, WINi’s presenting sponsor. photographs by MADELINE GRAY
