Join us for an inspiring conference session on entrepreneurship, passion-finding, and goal-setting. Our panel of three local business owners will share their personal journeys, from how they discovered their passions to the goals they set to achieve their dreams. They will discuss their entrepreneurial beginnings, the nature of their businesses, the challenges they've encountered, and how they balance their professional and personal lives.

This discussion aims to motivate and inspire young individuals to pursue their passions and explore opportunities to reach their goals. By hearing from these successful entrepreneurs, attendees can gain valuable insights and practical advice on how to embark on their own entrepreneurial journeys. Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired and empowered to follow your dreams!
