It’s Not An Awards Program.
It’s A Call To Action.
Inner Circle celebrates our region’s most accomplished and admired women – those in the “inner circle” of the business, civic and community – and gives them an opportunity to share practical know-how and inspire leadership in others. It provides a forum for facilitated small-group dialogue that taps into the wisdom of female leaders and helps women deepen their professional network by making strategic connections. The conversations are lively and fun and offer both inspiration and guidance.
Inner Circle is not an awards program – it’s a call to action. By that we mean Inner Circle combines real-world insight and unparalleled access for emerging and rising leaders and those starting new ventures. For participants, the program boosts their confidence as they continue to navigate the path of leadership. For women already in the “inner circle,” it’s a great way to give back.
