Ladies Who Launch

INSPIRED WOMEN, INSPIRE WOMEN
Biz 417’s Ladies Who Launch began in 2018 to empower women's leadership in the Ozarks through a dynamic blend of community, compelling content and meaningful conversations.
Our mission is to orchestrate a regional conference that not only influences female business leaders but also positively shapes the future of our audience's careers and livelihoods.
