In support of this year’s theme “How to Build Your Board of Directors,” our engaging speakers will discuss how professionals of all backgrounds can build a support network to help advance their careers; what types of professionals were and are part of the speakers’ network; how those individuals differed in various ways; and what the speakers learned along their journey.
