鈥淓ach year we select three outstanding women who will make a positive impact on our audience by sharing their own success stories,鈥 said Wendy Zucal, director of Dennison Railroad Depot Museum and one of the Women鈥檚 Success Series organizers. 鈥淚n doing so, they inspire our audience to move forward in their own lives and careers. Our audience is comprised of women of all ages and from all walks of life, which creates an interesting mix and leads to dynamic and thoughtful discussions. The women encourage each other, and everyone learns something new during the program.鈥
