Success: The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted.
(American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition)

How do you define success? How do you know when you have achieved it? Do you know how you're going to get there? WITI invites you to a lively and insightful discussion where five women at the top of their game share their quotes on success, lessons learned and experiences about their rise to success. The discussions will be faciliated by a moderator. Each panelist will be asked a variety of questions focusing on what has worked and what has not for herself as she climbs to the top. Join us to hear inspiring, empowering and motivational success stories.
