2018 Women on the Move

What is the measure of success? Is it a title, units sold, dollars earned, the number of lives changed for the better? For these 20 women, success is about pushing boundaries, making their voices heard and following their passions.

We invite you to network, share and connect at our Women on the Move Luncheon as we celebrate this year’s honorees on Thursday, Oct. 25 at Drexelbrook. Click here for tickets and more information. Click here for a behind-the-scenes look at how our 2018 Women on the Move cover came together.
