The Marilyn K. Glick Women's Enrichment Series offers a chance for the community to meet and hear the inspiring first-person stories from women leaders who hold all types of positions: philanthropists, pioneers in the judiciary, business leaders, athletes, and activists. The theme for the 2023-24 series is, "The Only Woman in the Room".
Being the Only Woman in the Room requires tenacity, intention, courage, and fearlessness. Another quality critical to leadership is resiliency.
This season of The Marilyn K. Glick Women's Enrichment Series celebrates those women who possess the necessary qualities to not only create their own "seat at the table", but they make room for, and encourage, other women to use their skills and talents to shine.
Each event begins at 5 pm for networking, drinks and hors d'oeuvres, with the program following at 6 pm. VIP tickets include a Meet and Greet reception with the speaker, heavy hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, and reserved seating during the program.
