We are so appreciative of everyone who made LiA 2019 - our 8th LiA event - a huge success. We had over 150 students attend and heard from 9 speakers who shared valuable experience, perspective, and advice. We are incredibly grateful to the support of our sponsors as this is a genuine work of love and everyone involved is passionate about empowering the next generation of young women! Thank you Eastern Bank, Rockland Trust Company, George Washington Toma & Appliance, Inc., The Woodward School, and Marinelli Law Offices. The day would also not be possible without Curry College providing space and food, especially Anne Beaumont, Director of Conference Services, who helps guide us through this process. Thank you to our Moderator, Jill Beresford of Massachusetts Business Development Center, and to all of our panelists:
And to all of our workshop speakers:
And a HUGE thank you to our fantastic Keynote Speaker Tamara Gardner - Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur, and Owner of Boldly-Branded and TGX Talks. Watching these young women participate throughout the day is truly an inspiring experience.

Seeing the smiles, feeling the energetic buzz, and knowing we made a difference - even if just for one student - makes it all worth it. The schools that participated this year were:

The idea of providing opportunity to over 100 local students so they can learn from it is good and people will get a lot of benefits of it. You are good to help these local people with all these opportunities.
