Workhouse Arts Center

Empowering the Next Generation of Women Leaders This month, our?Director of Museum and Visitor Experience, Katie (So) Crooks, had the incredible opportunity to speak at?Lake Braddock Secondary School’s ProWo Conference - Fairfax County Public Schools—guiding students through the?dos and don’ts of resumes and job applications. The energy and ambition of these young women were truly inspiring! It was an honor to share insights, answer their thoughtful questions, and witness their excitement about the future.?We have no doubt they are on the path to achieving great things. What better way to celebrate?#WomensHistoryMonth?than by investing in the next generation of women leaders? ?? #CareerGrowth #WomenInLeadership #Mentorship #FutureLeaders
