AWWC's WCI Conference Session: Rise & Resilience

The Alliance of Women in Workers' Compensation is proud to bring the WCI conference attendees an empowering and inspirational leadership breakout, Rise and Resilience.

Have you ever asked yourself, what's my career path? Are you thinking of taking the next step in your career? Do you worry that you are not on the "right" path? In the opening session a panel of successful women from different aspects of the workers' compensation industry will reflect on their career journeys. Each panelist has a unique story to tell, lessons learned, and successes to reflect upon.

During the keynote you will hear from Cara Brookins. Cara has an incredible personal story which exemplifies rise and resilience.

Cara’s story will be a motion picture coming out in about 18 months with a famous a list actress as a producer and actress portraying Cara.
