Drake Divas
An amazing colleague told me about Drake Divas a few weeks ago. I attended their first networking event last week and it was such an amazing and unique experience!
Drake Women’s Basketball Head Coach, Jennie Baranczyk, invites all professional women in the Des Moines area to become Drake Divas. A Drake Diva is a strong woman who is confident, comfortable in her own skin, and inspires others to feel the same way. Coach Baranczyk will lead discussions on leadership, teamwork and integrity as they relate to your everyday life. You will leave feeling motivated and empowered.
Global Vision Week Panel
