Find out what inspires them, the challenges they faced along the way, and how they have played a big role in their businesses, organizations and communities.

The 5th Annual Southwestern Vermont Women In Leadership Luncheon celebrates and encourages the many women leaders in the Southwestern Vermont region, while creating connections, partnerships, and friendships with those in attendance.
