Last week, Women in Retail Leadership Circle hosted its annual On the Road event in New York City. Our East Coast members and community enjoyed a beautiful view of the Hudson River while hearing from dynamic speakers, making new connections, brainstorming business solutions with peers, and shopping at small business pop-ups!
