Inspiration ignited! The inaugural Women in the Industry event last Thursday evening was full of empowerment and inspiration. Guests enjoyed a fun social hour and a powerful panel discussion led by Avants Seattle Director, Krissy Wells. These chosen industry leaders shared their stories, lessons they’ve learned along the way and how they’re accelerating in the industry today.
