Mary Bartlett shared these thoughts: “I attended this breakfast in its early days, and seeing how it has grown has been incredible. Even with so many more women in the room, it still delivers the same energy, interaction, and sense of connection that made it special from the very beginning, Thank you to the founders and for those companies who are keeping it going.”
