Impact Speaker Series | “Build it Boldly” Book Signing and Launch Tour

Join Dr. Kimberly McGlonn as she shares lessons accumulated in her career as a thought leader during this book release launch and fireside chat.

Dr. McGlonn’s experience is extensive: she served as Councilwoman in Montgomery County for a decade, a classroom teacher for 20 years, and now she finds herself advising organizations nationally. As Vice President of Social Impact at the Fitler Club and Executive Director of its Foundation, she will draw from her unique insights to call others into a personal relationship with creating impact.

Dr. McGlonn’s first book, Build it Boldly: How Daring Business Leaders Can Gain Influence and Create Impact is part memoir and part manual which explores how bold, intentional design can serve not only as a business asset, but as a transformative social force.

Signed copies of the book will be available for sale before and after the program.

This event will take place on level 2 in the offsite gallery.
