A Sneak Peek into the the Women’s Build Event

Hello 48in48 Partner,

We are just a couple of weeks away from our 2nd Annual Women's Build Event (April 8th)! Our amazing planning committee, led by Daphne Saavedra, is hard at work making sure everyone will have the best experience. I am also excited to share that we will have a very special speaker to help kick off our event.

Dr. Kamel Hothi - a trailblazer, strategist, and advocate for women and minorities, will open the weekend with a keynote address. Dr. Kamel Hothi OBE is ranked in the top 100 most influential black, Asian, and minority ethnic leaders in the UK and was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire award) for services to promote diversity in banking. After 40 years in financial services, she sits on several boards as an Advisor/Trustee including the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust. She is also a TLC Lion.

I was fortunate to hear Dr. Hothi speak last year at a Women in Hospitality program, and I know you will find her incredibly inspiring. Don’t be late for the kickoff! It’s not too late to sign up. Register Today

There are so many people and organizations who make our 48in48 efforts possible, so I want to make sure I take a moment to recognize a few. We would like to thank Sam Oesterreich for the beautiful event logo. Thank you to the State Farm and IBM teams for all their support on our planning committees for every event. Thank you to our sponsors and partners - Verizon, State Farm, IBM, KMS Technologies, DangerPress and Elastihost for your continued support.

Cheers,
Sima Parekh
Executive Director
