Our ‘How to Thrive (not strive) in Westchester for the Ladies’ Fall Workshop & Luncheon Fundraiser will be held at the Crowne Plaza in White Plains, NY on Saturday, October 26, 2019, 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM. A continental breakfast and buffet lunch will be served. We will also hold a 50/50 raffle and offer many free giveaways!
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our theme is focused on women and ensuring awareness of the nuances of how to maneuver in Westchester County. We will host five workshop sessions and each will include a Q&A. Our workshop presenters will also be honored during the luncheon and we’re super excited to have award-winning international speaker, best-selling author & founder of Destiny Designers University®, Dr. Stacie NC Grant (https://www.facebook.com/StacieNCGrant) as our celebrity guest host. She will open the event with a motivational exercise and be absolutely delightful as our Mistress of Ceremonies during the luncheon portion. We’ve planned the workshops to empower and energize our attendees and to assist them to not just strive, but actually offer key points so women can thrive in Westchester County.
A portion of our proceeds will be donated to an organization focused on breast cancer awareness/research.
The following workshops will empower and energize to not just strive, but actually offer key points so you can thrive in Westchester County…
