Guest Speaker:
Mary Burke
We are honored to have Mary Burke join us for our December Women in Business Event as she presents "From Courage to Confidence".
About Mary's Presentation: Confidence is not something you are born with. It's not something you acquire by reading a book. But it is something you can learn.
Mary Burke shares insights from her personal story about how to build confidence. While it starts with the courage to take a risk, the destination is far less important than what we can learn while on the journey. In 2014 Burke, a businesswoman and community leader, stepped far outside her comfort zone and became the first woman to win a primary election for Governor in the State of Wisconsin. While Burke lost the high-profile, contentious and close race, she gained far more than she could have imagined.
About our Speaker: Mary Burke is a businesswomen, philanthropist and community leader. She serves on the Madison School Board and co-founded the AVID/TOPS college preparation program which supports nearly 1,000 students as they aspire to earn a college degree. In 2014, she was the first woman in Wisconsin to be on the ballot for Governor representing a major party before losing in a close race to the incumbent, Scott Walker. Mary earned her BS in Business Administration at Georgetown University and her MBA from Harvard University. She has held leadership positions in private, public and non-profit sectors as Vice President of Finance for Intrepid Corporation, an entrepreneur who co-founded Manhattan Intelligence, Director of European Operations for Trek Bicycle, and Wisconsin's Secretary of Commerce.
