The Road to Silk: Myth-Busting and Practical Guidance
About this Event
Many talented advocates delay applying because they believe they are not ready, do not have the right experience, or simply do not know where to start. Our panel of inspirational women in Silk will share their own experiences, explain what the process really involves, and challenge some of the myths that can hold applicants back.
Whether Silk is something you are considering now or years from now, this is an opportunity to hear from leading practitioners and ask the questions you have always wanted to ask.
No question is a bad question. Refreshments provided.

Time: Arrival from 17:30 for a 18:00 start. Concludes at 20:00.
