"Ambiance, energy, message, and attendance was great. I met so many people but also connected with old friends and colleagues and there was nothing but positive and empowering conversations and energy."

"So inspired by the women with purpose and influence at the Inaugural VVWS. What a momentous start to 2020, a new decade ahead, and a collective new story about bold, diverse, female leadership across all sectors..together."

"I've had emails from literally everyone at my table, you've opened up a whole new market for us via the connections we made at the Summit. Total home run."

"When Far Away Friends was given the opportunity to attend the Voice & Visibility Women's Summit in February, we were over the moon! As a female run & founded nonprofit organization, we know the value of sharing stories & community with other women. We flew in to Sarasota from Denver specifically for this event and were blown away by not only the networking opportunities & connections we made, but by the speakers & panels as well. Shannon Rohrer-Phillips is a powerhouse, and her team has created a space where we can connect, collaborate and uplift one another. Looking forward to getting back to SRQ for next year's event!"

"I was offered an internship at SRP, LLC. by the Founder of the company some time in January of 2019. I immediately said yes to Shannon when she explained to me what I would be helloing with. I took part in a series of networking events in preparation for the Voice and Visibility Women's Summit the following year. During these events, I was able to meet amazing women who had not only used business strategies to become self-made women and entrepreneur, bur also to better our community. My role as an intern included checking guests in, collecting payments, manning the Burns Court Art Gallery, and constantly advertising the efforts of the company on my own social media. I had to work with a variety of people to fulfill my responsibilities, including videographers, photographers, and local artist featured at the Gallery. Through those first Voice and Visibility luncheons and events, I learned that empowered women empower women. In retrospect, I can say that I became a Feminist because of my involvement in this company. This CAS experience not only bettered out community by inspiring women to become strong and smart and independent, but it also bettered my own opinion of myself as a young woman."
