Local, Global & Me: Investing in Women to Build Strong Communities

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s time to brush off the proverbial dust of 2018 and polish your 2019 self to be bolder, better and braver in this sparkly, new year. And to start, we suggest attending the final session of Local, Global & Me: Investing in Women to Build Strong Communities. This three-part women’s empowerment series, inspired by Bank of America and in partnership with Orange County United Way, isn’t just another event series filled with motivational fluff.
