On March 26th, I had the pleasure of attending the Women Warriors’ Luncheon, sponsored by veteran nonprofit Mission: Boots to Briefcases at the Quonset Officers Club. As a member of the board and planning committee, I was a part of the team that spent months helping prepare for the event. But reflecting now, I do so not as an organizer, but as an observer. Someone who had the privilege of moving through the room, speaking with attendees, and capturing the day as it unfolded.
