“Since its inception, LGC+D LeveragedSolutions has supported women in business. In fact, many of our business solutions were created to provide female entrepreneurs, business owners, and decision makers with the resources needed to grow, sustain growth and navigate transitions.
Partnering with the Lady Project seemed like a natural fit, as their mission aligns with our own. The Summit is a fantastic event that brings women together to build strategic and lasting connections, while offering support and development opportunities. We are excited to be involved and to share our services with those that will benefit from them most.” – Jessica L. Santamaria, LGC+D LeveragedSolutions
