We will start with a #WhyNotMe Alumni Entrepreneur panel with 3 amazing entrepreneurs willing to engage and share their personal journeys and knowledge to help you map your path.  This will be followed by a networking break for you to connect with each other and our mentor advisor speakers.  Then to end our event we will have a skills-building workshop to help you build confidence in negotiating skills and creating sales in male-dominated industries.
