"One thing I took away from the retreat is that I have a huge network of women that support and encourage me to live outside of my comfort zone because that is where my leadership skills grow and shine."

“I appreciated that the days didn't seem too long and there were fun activities and breaks. Sometimes at other conference like events the seminars are long and lose my interest and I also fear I'll miss out on something if I take my own breaks. This wasn't like that.”
