“I enjoyed the fact that everyone was themselves and was very honest. We all felt so open with each other even though we hardly knew each other.”


“I loved the life histories activity. The stories were all very inspirational and eye-opening. I learned a lot this weekend from a diverse group of people. I think if we have learned something and taken it home with us, it is that we are successful women. Excellent weekend!”
