It was a wonderful event! It made me so proud to see and experience the passion in the work you do! Luminary's vision and mission is truly making an impact in the lives of women business owners! I wish I had this when I got started 25+ years ago!
 

Mary Kate McGrath

Luminary is a little slice of heaven -- a space outside the office for our team to retreat, recharge, and network and learn from inspiring women. We couldn't be more pleased with this partnership with Luminary.

Joanne McKinney

As a business leader, creating a culture of growth and demonstrating to your employees how committed you are to their learning and development is essential. This Luminary membership allowed us to do both in one action.
