Additional Information

This year, the event will feature a dynamic panel discussion, during which each of our panelists will elaborate on their own personal journey, including hurdles they have overcome, personal and career goals, and everything in between.

Whether they were raised in the Southcoast, had or have had a career in the Southcoast, or have simply made this place their home, each of these speakers has strong ties to our region. Prepare to be inspired at the 2015 Southcoast Women's Forum.

Our dynamic panel discussion will be moderated by Lee Blake, a New Bedford Community Activist and education administrator, with a wealth of experience as a teacher and administrator in urban education.

Other panelists include: world-renowned life, career, relationship and executive coach Lauren Mackler; Director of the Adult Survivorship Program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital Ann H. Partridge, MD, MPH; Executive Assistant to District Attorney Tom Quinn, Ashley Bendiksen; and inspirational speaker and award-winning author Lynn Donahue.
