When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.
Join the World Trade Center St Louis as we hear the “origin stories” of three amazing women, from vastly different backgrounds, who have all forged their own paths to success. They work to inspire others around them to value and include women and girls, and others who are facing huge obstacles in life. They are the embodiment of this year’s theme of “Inspiring Inclusion.”
Speakers will include St. Louis Mosaic Project Executive Director Betsy Cohen, World Trade Center St. Louis/Mosaic Project Manager Annie J Mbale, and International Institute of St. Louis Latino and Afghan Outreach Resource Coordinator Alexia Prudencio.
This event takes place from 8:30 to 10 a.m. on Friday, March 8 at the Helix Center, 1100 Corporate Square Dr., Room 112, St. Louis, MO 63132.
