“We are so thankful and humbled by how many ladies came out to celebrate women with us!” said Leanna Spada, Executive Director of the MVRCC and Co-Founder of the Women in Leadership Series. “If we have helped even one woman feel loved, appreciated, inspired, or safe then we have done what we have set out to do!”

Jennifer DiLucia, host of the ‘Spill with Me Jenny D’ podcast, was the keynote speaker for the more than 180 women in attendance.
