Women of NATE (WON) held their third successful annual Women’s Leadership Summit on Thursday, September 21, 2023, in Grapevine, Texas. The summit was a massive success due to the support, enthusiasm, and participation of over 30 sponsors and 150 attendees.
The event was a day of professional and personal education, development, networking, and community-building, with an opportunity to explore leadership, empowerment, and the importance of influential mentors.
The summit featured a welcome, panel discussions, and presentations from experienced leaders. It provided education, inspiration, and connections to foster attendees’ success in achieving their personal and professional goals and ended with a networking reception.
On Friday, September 22, WON joined efforts with the Texas Wireless Association in a Day of Service, benefitting Metro Relief by giving back to the homeless community in the Dallas area. Volunteers put together and distributed free meals and hygiene kits to homeless Texans and spent time building relationships with some people with the greatest need. During the Women’s Leadership Summit, attendees also had the opportunity to donate to Metro Relief.
