From Our Community highlights events, business launches, retail partnerships, charitable initiatives, and more, all sent to us by members of the Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC) community. If you have an announcement that you would like us to share with the Inner Circle audience, please contact Melissa Campanelli (mcampanelli@napco.com).

We want to see more women in the C-suite, and a session at next week’s CommerceNext event in New York City will help push us towards that goal. The session, which is being moderated by our very own Melissa Campanelli, co-founder of WIRLC, and features panelists including Meera Bhatia, chief operating officer, Fabletics; Sarah Rasmusen, chief customer officer, Lands’ End; and Calanthia Mei, vice president of partnerships, Fast, will offer leadership advice and takeaways tips that can be implemented by both current as well as aspiring leaders.

The panel will explore strategies for career growth and leadership, how the current environment has reshaped leaders, and retention and hiring strategies in this competitive job market. Bring your questions and leave inspired for the next step in your career journey. You can register for next week’s CommerceNext IRL here.
