CENTURIONS WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP FORUM
Join us on November 1 from 4-6:00 p.m. for the annual Women’s Forum, where we will hear from four daring women who are breaking down barriers in their sectors and engaging their values, their passions, and their abilities to define what leadership looks like. Andre Davis, Corporate and Community Engagement Executive for Built Interior Construction, will facilitate a compelling discussion about how these leaders didn’t just set out to have a “place at the table,” but created “the table” where prioritizing innovation, intention, and impact are reinventing their sectors.
