Great Dames to Host Global Virtual Conference & Pitch Event
Reimagine Your Remarkable Life
Great Dames interviewed by WDEL to promote Reimagine Global Virtual Conference.
(Virtual) From Monday, Sept. 21 to Friday, Sept. 25, Great Dames will host its first international virtual conference. “Reimagine Your Remarkable Life” will be live streamed for those five consecutive days from 12 noon to 1 p.m., Eastern Time (ET).
Via powerful conversations led by internationally-renowned thought leaders, the conference will encourage participants to reimagine their personal lives by overcoming obstacles and taking risks; their careers by achieving gender equity; their businesses by believing in the power of their ideas; and their communities by engaging and mobilizing others.
The stellar list of speakers will include U.S. Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, Delaware’s first Black female congresswoman; Joan Pendergrass, author, speaker, and wife of the late musician Teddy Pendergrass; Dr. Wendy Smith, a University of Delaware professor and founder of the Women’s Leadership Forum; Leticia Gomez, pioneering Latinx literary, film, and television agent; Kay White, best-selling British author and career mentor; Miracle Olatunji, a GenZ Phenom and founder OpportuniMe; and DeLores Pressley, an international speaker, author, and former guest of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
A highlight of the conference is the Remarkable Ideas Pitch on Thursday, Sept 24. Ten women will present their business ideas for reimagining their community to compete for a $1,000 cash prize. The winner will be announced on Friday, Sept. 25, the final day of the conference.
“We’ve heard loud and clear from the women in the Great Dames community that they are reimagining their lives during these exceptional times.” says Great Dames President Sharon Kelly Hake. “Our speakers and fellow Dames will spark our imagination, ignite our ideas, and inspire us to elevate our power.”
