Welcome Message from Summit Chairs
On behalf of the RiseUp! Women’s Summit planning committee, we invite you to join us for this Inaugural event!
This summit is sure to be a power-packed day of inspiring panels, workshops, and presentations designed to encourage and motivate women to kick off their 2021 with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.
Life as usual looks a lot different for most of us due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Some of us are enjoying the slower pace, the ability to work from home more than before, and catching up on our Netflix and Lifetime movies. Others are struggling with virtual learning for their children or truly missing the in-person physical interactions with family & friends. Wherever you fall on this spectrum, we want to provide you with an outlet on Saturday, January 30th, 2021!
We have an amazing line-up of professional women who will interact with us on a variety of topics ranging from wealth creation & managing our personal finances to personal & professional development. We’re weaving a lot of “sweet” surprises into the day and can’t wait for all of you to experience them!
Registration is now open and we look forward to having you join us!
Always remember: Your life is an occasion, Rise up to it!
