Ursula Brooks,   Anne Arundel Broadband

“In 2016, I attended the WICT Leadership Conference and Executive Development series with the help of scholarships from the WICT DC/Baltimore chapter.  Both events aligned me with like-minded professionals that are determined to gain as much knowledge as we can about becoming better leaders in order to strengthen our organizations.  The breakout sessions and panel discussions helped me hone the leadership skills that I will need to master in the next level of my career. ”
