Unapologetically Worthy: Building Confidence & Community for Women Leaders in Supply Chain
Join industry changemakers Katie Date and Sarah Barnes-Humphrey for an energizing and transformative two-hour interactive workshop designed to give participants the tools, resources and confidence to walk away with leadership skills to apply in their day-to-day career.
