What’s Your Legacy? The dictionary would define Legacy as a gift or a bequest that is handed down, endowed or conveyed from one person to another. What do you want to be remembered for in your career? Is it being a mentor to someone who can learn from the experience you have gained or is it paving the way for someone to follow in your career footsteps; or is your legacy to be the best person you can be? The AWAKE Women’s Conference is an opportunity to help you define what your legacy will be. Hear the unique perspectives of extraordinary women and men who have established themselves as dynamic and successful leaders and who are creating their own personal legacies. Take the opportunity to network with your peers and colleagues to share your diverse perspectives with each other. The Women’s Conference is an event about shared vision and connecting with like-minded people who know where you are coming from and where you want to go.
