Join Melisa Vasquez, Kristy Dellisanti, and Daniela Gracey for the session "Setting Your Own Place at the Table"!
Day 1, Greenlight Guru Stage
12:00 - 12:45 AM ET
As women, we've all been there… feeling less than confident about our place at that proverbial conference room table! An open and vulnerable conversation about the varying paths three women took as they navigated through many challenges in a male-dominated engineering and construction industry. We will share the steps, and missteps, of our journeys that have now converged in the same field and company. Our hope is to be able to inspire other women to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and to grow into owning their own place at the table, therefore helping to pave the way for others! Likewise, we look forward to learning and growing from our audience's journeys!
