What does thought leadership mean today—and how can accomplished women leverage it to create greater influence, visibility, and impact?

Join the Senior Executive Women's Network (SEWN) for an inspiring evening of networking, conversation, and leadership designed for executive women, business owners, consultants, entrepreneurs, and emerging thought leaders.

As careers evolve and industries transform, women are increasingly redefining and reinventing their own success beyond traditional titles and career paths. Whether you are navigating a career transition, launching a business, pursuing board service, entrepreneurship, building a consulting practice, or seeking greater influence within your organization, thought leadership has become one of the most powerful tools for shaping what's next.

During this Fireside Chat with 3 powerful thought-leaders, we'll explore:

• Reinvention after 40, 50, and beyond
• Turning decades of experience into influence and impact
• Overcoming age bias through visibility and creativity
