Yesterday our chapter had the honor to host Tara Guérard Soirée as our speaker for our “Building For The Future” event. Tara talked about the importance of team building and how to develop a team that knows how to have fun AND work hard! We were so lucky to have her and loved hearing the amazing questions our audience had for her as well. Thank you to everyone who attended and our wonderful sponsors and board for putting on such an amazing event!
