“You don’t become what you want, you become what you believe.” -Oprah Winfrey
This quote and so many other words of wisdom were shared at the Maryland Public Television Women’s Leadership Forum. The theme was, “Increase Your Impact” and we heard from several phenomenal women who have changed the world by their presence, their vision, and their work. More than 500 women (and some men) of diverse backgrounds gathered at Notre Dame of Maryland University. Broadmead, the continuing care retirement community where I work, was proud to sponsor the reception for the conference. Two residents and two other staff members joined me so we could represent our organization.
Here’s a picture of me adorned with some of the photo booth props. I am grateful to the organizers of the event, particularly Colette Colclough, Vice President of Human Resources for Maryland Public Television and founder of the Women’s Leadership Forum. It was a wonderful, impactful, and soulful day personally and professionally.
