We brought the inspiration with a lineup of dynamic leaders who embody The Power of Us — including past WILMA Leadership participants who continue to lead boldly in their fields. Featured speakers included Kristi Ray and Erika Arlee, co-founders of Honey Head Films; Danielle Saintard Valiente, entrepreneur, author, and speaker; and corporate changemaker Laurie Whalin of Novant Health.
And that’s just the beginning — we also spotlighted stories from women who’ve been part of WILMA’s programs over the past decade. Click here for a full list of speakers!
