From 5 Rings Financial (BPW Luncheon January 2020 Speaker):

Join us for our VIRTUAL September 23rd Luncheon: “Meet Your BPW Membership!” 

With the uncertainty of Covid-19 changing our day-to-day schedules and lives, BPW’s events (both virtual and in-person) have decreased in numbers. With that said, we wanted to give you an opportunity to “Meet Your Membership!” and really get to know what each BPW member does, both personally and professionally.
