FWN LEGACY 2.0: Summit Learning Journeys

FWN LEGACY 2.0: Summit Learning Journeys

Why should you come to the Summit?
Raison d'être #1: The Learning Journeys @ the Filipina Leadership Summit

The summit is not just a gathering of awesome Filipina women but what they do at the summit! The summit is more than a field trip or a fact-finding mission on what other Filipina women are doing, what works, what doesn't and how we can be allies for life.

It's the Learning Journeys - they immerse us in the reality--and long-range implications--of the knowledge economy. These experiences enable us to deepen, accelerate, and internalize our own learning about profound changes in the business environment and, at the same time, share experiences and perspectives with FWN members from different companies, industries, and countries.
