Video: Breaking Barriers

Everyone has their own definition of success: the path they take, the goals they set, the achievements they are most proud of, and how they envision the “finish line.” Recognizing that no two professional journeys are the same, the Midwest Young Executive Committee and She Runs It has programmed an evening of conversations, connections and community to explore and celebrate the fact that the road to success is not a “one-way” avenue.
