On March 28, L.A. Times B2B Publishing presented our second annual Orange County Inspirational Women Forum & Leadership Awards at Marriott Irvine Spectrum. On a beautiful spring day, attendees enjoyed the opportunity to attend a networking reception in the courtyard. Later, everyone settled in for two engaging panel discussions.
In the first panel, a moderator and speakers presented their views on the significant role that women business leaders have in the success of Southern California’s nonprofit community. During the second discussion, experts addressed common issues that affect women both professionally and personally and advised on how best to address the challenges many face.
The Leadership Awards recognized accomplished Orange County female leaders from corporations and nonprofit organizations who have achieved remarkable success and accomplishments in nine award categories. Congratulations to everyone who was recognized during this special event.
