“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much” - Helen Keller. Come, connect, and learn how to intentionally build your communities as women through professional networks and shared values. Karla will share her story of how her leadership journey has evolved from the business to the nonprofit world and finding her purpose through various opportunities to serve and grow. As women, we have a powerful (sometimes unrealized) opportunity to influence giving back and create a culture within our organizations – all while solving our communities’ toughest challenges. Join Karla as we learn how to uncover your potential to influence the future of the community we all call home. The Power of Community. Realized. is something the United Way of Cass-Clay team personifies in all they do to create a better tomorrow for everyone.
