Testimonials
The Bloom Women's Leadership Conference was such an amazing event for those truly passionate about women in leadership and women becoming community leaders. All of the breakout sessions I attended had insightful, empowering, and current information from some of the best community leaders. From panel discussions to motivational speakers, there was something for everyone. Bloom was truly inspirational and thoughtfully put together. I'm looking forward to the next one!

The LIVE2LEAD event offered in partnership with the GWNC Chamber was spectacular. The speakers were top-notch and the Leadership Development Coach, Barb Stone inspiring. The John C. Maxwell leadership event and content were relevant, and I walked away with personal reflections and great tools that will no doubt be beneficial in current and future leadership roles. I will certainly attend more events like this when offered. A true value for the minimal cost!
