Being a woman working in a male-dominated field often means breaking new ground - exploring possibilities that have never been considered before. To do this takes courage, confidence, poise, imagination and humility. Come hear first-hand accounts from a real trailblazer. Janet Horton pioneered the role of women in the Army Chaplaincy and is the author of "Cracking the Camouflage Ceiling". She'll share her stories and inspire you to break new ground and explore new opportunities.
