The YWCA hosted our Annual Women's Leadership and Networking Day on Friday. May 3, 2013 at Pandora on Green in Pasadena. More than 100 women gathered to be empowered, uplifted and motivated. We would like to thank our speakers for their wisdom and for sharing stories that we will never forget. The speakers shared messages that we all needed to hear, a big thank you to Sally Bixby, Diana Peterson-More, Paula Stamp, Julie Kelly, Kardia Pinckney, and Tina Paul.
