Introducing Junior League of Greenville’s Empowered Women of Greenville (EWG), an all-day leadership conference. The goal of the new signature event is to help women reach their full potential by providing them with education and resources to build stability, gain independence, and connect with a community of women.

JLG believes empowered women have the ability to make positive change while improving their lives, their families, and creating a ripple effect that can impact the larger community.

The first in-person event, following last year’s all virtual event, takes place on March 12 from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Greenville Convention Center. The all-day event will focus on empowering the women of Greenville to thrive personally and professionally. Liz Ferro, founder of nonprofit Girls with Sole, will be featured as the keynote speaker.

As a child, Ferro experienced foster care and sexual abuse, but found solace in sports and fitness. The empowerment gained from sports led her to found Girls with Sole, which has received extensive national attention for its innovative and award-winning program curriculum.
