Cary Magazine’s annual Women of Western Wake Forum honors the achievements of five local women who have had a strong impact on our corner of the world and beyond. This event highlights the efforts of these outstanding leaders and allows the rest of us to learn from their successful strategies.
New this year, an exclusive morning session featuring award-winning chef Vivian Howard as the keynote speaker will be available for VIP ticket holders. This expanded Women of Western Wake experience will include breakfast and an opportunity to meet Howard. She will also sign copies of her book, “Deep Run Roots.”
