Kastle Systems Presents "Grit & Grace": A Panel Discussion on Female Leadership
Today's Female Leaders Share How They Overcame Roadblocks to Achieve Their Professional Goals in Industries Dominated by Men.
CHICAGO, July 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Kastle Systems International, the industry leader in managed security solutions and services, is presenting "Grit & Grace"- a panel discussion on Tuesday, July 16 showcasing female leadership in male-dominated industries. Kastle Systems is partnering with K Cancer Softball, a Rockford, Illinois-based non-profit softball organization made up of young women between the ages of 13-15 with the purpose of raising funds to support local families battling childhood cancer.
The event's panelists will share the obstacles they have overcome to achieve success in male-dominated industries and field questions from the audience. The forum will also host leaders of the Girl Scouts and other female leaders from Non-Profits with the intent of encouraging young women to pursue leadership roles in future careers.
K Cancer Softball is not only a 501(c)3 organization that raises money to battle cancer, but also exists to promote youth leadership training and give these young women the opportunity to run a non-profit business themselves. These young entrepreneurs lead cancer awareness-building events and conduct fundraising activities throughout the year. They also attend ongoing management mentoring sessions to build leadership skills that will serve them later in life.
Kastle Systems' Chicago General Manager, Andrea Kuhn, will participate on the panel along with three other Chicago-area business leaders: Jo Ann Godfried, President of Urban Innovations, Judy Frydland, Commissioner of the Department of Buildings for the City of Chicago, and Jan Goldsmith, Principal of Zeller Realty Group.
Kastle Systems is proud to host an event that represents hardworking women and their successes. The "Grit & Grace" Female Leadership Panel will be held on Tuesday July 16, 2019 at 10:30am. The event will take place at Chicago's 1871 Auditorium located at 222 West Merchandise Mart Plaza, #1212, Chicago, Illinois 60654.
