Women of Color Leadership Series: Idea to Impact – Empowering Community Through Entrepreneurship

The approximate run time of the event is 90 minutes with no intermission. 

Tickets are free but advanced reservation is recommended. Due to popular demand, this event was moved from the Recital Hall to the main O’Shaughnessy venue. If you have previously booked tickets, no action is required. 

Idea to Impact – Empowering Community Through Entrepreneurship brings together four dynamic entrepreneurs for a roundtable discussion about the paths they took to turn their ideas into realities. These founders and CEOs are blazing trails through business practices and products that celebrate and uplift their communities. They will discuss what inspires and motivates them, the values that guide them, the obstacles they’ve overcome and the wisdom they’ve gained through their unwavering commitment to excellence. The evening will conclude with questions submitted by the audience.
