Bound & Determined℠ is hitting the road. Next stop: san francisco!
Join podcast host Meg McKeen on Tuesday, June 10th, for an inspiring morning as you grow in connection with others - and yourself - in a unique and intimate setting.
Meg will be joined in a fireside chat-style conversation with Jenn Walsh, which will be recorded and later released as a podcast episode, as we begin our time together. We’ll have time for open conversation following - off the record - and connection building with fellow attendees, too.
What is Bound & Determined℠ Live?
This intimate, in-person gathering is curated to provide connection and support to women in the insurance industry in a highly accessible way. It is open to a woman regardless of her role or title or tenure, is low-cost, hyper-local, and does not require extensive time away from work or family. Join us as we take the conversations we're already having on the podcast and invite you to participate in them, too.
