Are you ready for a ROARing experience?

DG McGee Enterprises (DGME) presents its inaugural ROAR Conference of 2022! We want women to be Relentless, Optimistic, Ambitious, and Results Driven.

This conference is designed to help women stimulate their own economies by providing tips, tools, and strategies for:

• Career Development
• Financial Independence
• Business Success

Join us in Raleigh on September 24th as we come together to address these issues which women struggle with daily, to network with other ROARING women, and just be ourselves in a sea of diversity!

Subject Matter Experts (SME's) will share their knowledge, ideas, and expertise. Participants will gain valuable insights and perspectives among peers to tackle career development, money management and business development issues.

You will leave better than you came and you'll be inspired to stimulate your own economy.
