More than 230 women leaders from the Greater Philadelphia area and Montgomery County attended the “2018 Women and Leadership” Forum, which featured highly accomplished women speakers sharing their knowledge and experience, and strategies for growth and success. The event was held at Presidential Caterers in East Norriton Township.

Attendees were inspired by keynote speakers Raquel Arredondo, who talked about the importance of cultivating mentors, and Annie McKee, who recently published the best-seller “How to Be Happy at Work” The Power of Purpose, Hope and Friendship.” Tracy Davidson, news anchor NBC 10 moderated a thought-provoking panel presentation on leadership and deepening professional relationships.
