Return with Purpose Summit

Inspiring Capitalis a B-Corp Social Impact Learning and Development Organization promoting sustainable growth.

Inspiring Capital

TAKE YOUR PURPOSE (BACK) TO WORK! 
Created by Inspiring Capital, the Return with Purpose Summit is designed for women interested in the social impact sector and looking to return to work.
This one-day, content-packed event will facilitate the transition to purpose-driven roles through a supportive, like-minded community of women. 
Participants will gain the clarity, confidence, community, and connections needed to pursue a career within the social impact sector. You’ll meet with women’s re-entry experts, get to know social impact organizations looking for talent like you, understand what a professional toolkit for re-entry looks like, and be inspired by the stories of women who are on the same journey -- and those who have made it to the other side.
