GaNN attends "Women Who Lead" for Women's History Month
Co-Founders Samantha Smith and Kandi Thomas represented the #gannfam at the Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s recent event, “Women Who Lead”. This one-day event held in Tifton, Georgia was filled with experience, wisdom and energy from women leaders from across the state who are making national and global impact.
Those in attendance participated in large group discussions, received information and stories of inspiration from panel members, and participated in breakout sessions focused on mentorship and personal and professional branding.
Co-Founder and 2023 GaNN President Kandi Thomas believes the impact of this event will last for years to come. “The insight that was shared helped reset my perspective on the areas of my life where I want to add value.”
Attendees also got the opportunity to network during the event while sharing stories and making valuable connections.
“This was hands down the best, female focused, event that I have ever attended,” said Co-Founder and 2023 Communications Coordinator Samantha Smith. “No one was left hungry, empty, or uninspired. Those in attendance either saw themselves or found themselves during the day’s activities.”
