The MBL provides the Remarkable Women’s Luncheons in partnership with Bon Secours. The luncheons are a spin off from the Women Who Mean Business Summit. At each luncheon, there is a ‘fireside’ chat with an influential woman in business that shares their experiences in an open dialogue. The style is conversational over lunch with full audience participation.
