“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” — Mahatma Gandhi

Are you looking to make a change in both your life and community? Do you have an idea that inspires change, but not sure how you can make your idea profitable?

Similar to the well-known TEDx programming, WITx will be an evening filled with inspiring leaders who through their businesses are achieving a dream while making a positive difference in the world.

WITx will feature 6 women who will speak to their unique experience in building a company that encourages change in their community, and in some instances, the world. Speakers will touch on the tough questions that business owners are faced with, their hopes for the future of their mission, and the passion that has led them to where they are now.

Join us for an engaging evening with WIT members who are looking to do more with their career, make a change in this world, or simply want to be inspired and make a positive difference in our world.

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
