"To be able to be in a room full with women that are leaders across our community. I think it's so impactful, not only for my generation, but the generations coming behind us. That's gives them a role model that yes, they can do things. They can succeed, they can be a leader in their community, no matter what it is they wanted to do," Wardlaw said.
