WeWork Cocktail Break & Panel: Investing Time and Energy to Build a Legacy
Event has EndedAbout this Event
Come join us for a brief cocktail & networking break with delicious light appetizers courtesy of WeWork. At 5:15 we’ll start a "fireside chat" style panel. Our panelists will be sharing perspectives on what's important to investors who invest their money and effort for the biggest impact.
We will be taking questions from the audience. Plus, you'll hear what they actually connect with and why some investments happen the way they do. There will be insights from a national and global investment perspective.
This is extremely rare treat to hear an active international investor talk about her path and investing.
