It’s our mission at The Only Women in the Room to introduce women to inspiring leaders that can offer insights and tools to help navigate their way in a male-dominated profession. Along the way we hope to be able to build a community of women (and our male allies) for networking, support, and a safe space to discuss the challenges we face.
