Women are accomplishing feats that 50, even 25 years ago, would not have seem plausible.  But, there are still barriers that challenge even the most determined women leaders.  During this panel discussion, you’ll hear first-hand from women who have not only faced such barriers, but broken through to become inspirational examples of success.  Drawn from diverse professions, these pioneers have led the way, creating new paths for others to follow.  To borrow an adage, this panel will encourage you to “be the best you can be.”
