We have some amazing panelists including a film publicist (for the Dream Girls among others), a drug tester for the National Football League, the Director of Technology at CSU Fullerton , the Executive Chef (and restaurant owner) of Delius Restaurant in Long Beach … and more. The event includes lunch with our guests, a Q&A following lunch, opportunities to network with these amazing professional women, door prizes … and more!

We are developing an intensive marketing strategy to let students, staff, and faculty know about the event and we need your feedback about our ideas and your help in spreading the word.

We also have opportunities on the day of the event including being a table host, taking photos and several other tasks. Attached is a list of opportunities along those lines.
