When women come together to share their experiences, celebrate one anotherβs strengths and offer genuine encouragement, incredible things happen. πβ¨
Our Women in Business gathering at The Lodge at Schroon Lake was a powerful reminder that empowerment is not about one woman succeeding alone. It is about creating space for more women to be seen, heard and supported.
Throughout the morning, the room was filled with honesty, laughter, encouragement and women recognizing pieces of their own journeys in one anotherβs stories. We heard about challenges, unexpected paths, difficult decisions and the courage it takes to keep moving forward. Most importantly, we watched women lift each other up. π
A heartfelt thank you to our panelists, Dani Taylor, Heather Termini, Amanda Ragland, Sue Palisano, Lisa Hess-Marks and Lynne DeCesare, for sharing their experiences with such openness and authenticity.
Thank you to LeeAnne Ruff for guiding a thoughtful and engaging conversation that invited everyone in the room to participate, reflect and feel connected. π€
We are also incredibly grateful to Dani Taylor and the entire team at The Lodge at Schroon Lake for their generous hospitality, beautiful breakfast and partnership in creating such a welcoming morning. π²βοΈ
Finally, thank you to every woman who joined us. Your energy, participation and willingness to encourage one another made this event so special.
May we continue celebrating one anotherβs successes, offering support through the difficult moments and making room at the table for the women coming after us. When women lift each other up, the entire community becomes stronger. πͺπ
