Description
**This event is open to women and female identifying Chamber members and prospective members.**
Confidence. Clarity. Authentic Leadership.
Join the GOCC for a candid panel conversation on what it truly means to lead with confidence while navigating self‑doubt, imposter syndrome, and the challenges women face throughout their careers.
We will be taking our light breakfast in the historic Tea House at Parkwood Estate, a tranquil outdoor restaurant nestled in front of a 200-foot fountain on a National Historic Site.

Through honest dialogue and meaningful networking, attendees gain fresh insights, new connections, and the confidence to lead authentically in their careers, businesses, and communities.
