Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Women of Western Wake Forum. The day started with an inspiring keynote speech from Molly Grantham that touched on embracing reinvention and set the tone to mull over the theme of the day: Own What’s Next.
In the luncheon panel discussion, moderator Kim Kitchings posed thought-provoking questions to the honorees.
