"We are delighted with the outcome of this year's Leadership Summit," said Erin Garrett, President of the SEI Women's Network. "Seeing more than 200 individuals from SEI and the surrounding community come together to discuss, brainstorm and learn from one another is incredibly empowering. We hope that each attendee walked away from the event feeling educated and more connected with the internal and external SEI network."

In addition, keynote speaker, Lu Ann Cahn, Author of "I Dare Me," concluded the day's event by sharing insights and advice on breaking out of one's comfort zone and taking risks.
