"Imagine an experience that connects and empowers our PEARLS and Mentors with panel discussions, team building activities, breakout workshops and just good ole FUN! Where girls and women come together to not tear each other down but to build one another up. That’s exactly what our summer conference offers. It’s an event you won't want to miss!"
