On Tuesday we had the opportunity to attend the Eight Annual Women Creating a Legacy event put on by the Hagen History Center. It was a beautiful celebration of local women, philanthropy, community, and Charlotte Elizabeth Battles legacy at the Battles While house in Girard, PA.

💐More than 300 women gathered to support this event, talk about a reminder of how strong we are when we show up together.

Today's session was a success!

Huge thanks to Erie Center for Arts & Technology for hosting us for Leadership in Action: Insights from Nonprofit CEO of the Year Honorees.
