The East-West Center hosted a special #galswithLEI Global, Unveiling Why: From Purpose to Impact. #galswithLEI Global celebrates the Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Inspiration of women business and social entrepreneurs in generating jobs and strengthening communities. Designed to address today’s critical concerns, identify innovative solutions, and build networks of support, this hybrid event offered a 75-minute keynote panel featuring invited experts, established local women leaders, innovators, and three of the international Changing Faces women - virtually connecting and integrating the experience, ambition, and passion of all those in attendance.
Discover the driving force behind women leaders and social innovators as they share their personal and professional stories of “Why” and how their ideals ignited purposeful action into creating meaningful, sustainable impact. Panelists will also offer insight on how their core “Why” has helped them overcome challenges, and a clear sense of purpose injects passion into their work, inspires others, and shapes their strategy, innovation, and resilience as leaders.
