About this event

What does it mean to Dare to Be?
- We bravely set out to accomplish our goals
- We don’t let others dictate what we can or cannot be
- We are unapologetically ourselves
- We have the courage to stand up for what we believe
- We recognize everyone has something unique to contribute
…and ANYTHING you want it to be!
Join us as we have conversations on how to break out of our shells and have the courage to pursue our goals. See you there 🥳.
