Installation Dinner for the 2013-2014 Board of Directors
Special Speaker: Dr. Kikanza Nuri Robins on Making Room at the Table
Once a year we recognize the women who give of their time and talents to support our organization. Please join us in the celebration as we thank all of our volunteers and install our new 2013-2014 NAWBO-SFBA Officers and Board of Directors. Plus!
Our featured speaker this evening will be Dr. Kikanza Nuri Robins who will inspire us as she presents Making Room at the Table.
As women business owners, we are acutely aware of how important it is that there’s room for us “at the table”. But have we ever considered the bigger “why” of why it makes good business sense? Or why it’s so difficult to achieve? Perhaps it is because the real issue is diversity and inclusion. Getting people to the table is easy. It’s keeping people at the table where the real work begins. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins shares her insights and observations with clarity and candor, while gently encouraging women to face the difficult situations that challenge their values. She leads people to this growing edge with unswerving focus, an understanding heart, and laughter that rises from the seat of her soul. Read more.
