Last week, a small group of women from our Milwaukee team had the opportunity to attend the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Women Leaders Conference 2025 virtually.    With the theme, Connecting, Recharging, Igniting, the event provided an inspiring day filled with insights on personal and professional growth. Accomplished women leaders shared their experiences and valuable lessons to help inspire and empower others.   While not everyone could attend, those who did were able to bring back meaningful takeaways to share. It was a great way to connect and continue learning and supporting each other. #Leadership #Empowerment #WomenInBusiness #PersonalGrowth
