Is that all?
The question of many professional female leaders celebrating success and asking ‘Is that all, what else to expect’?
We have been so long on the road and after focusing on how to get where we are we look back and are still waiting for adventure, excitement, female challenges, and more than all this success, empowerment, encouragement, leading, power, and the rest.
Join us on May 30, 2025, for the 22nd Annual Female Leadership Event in Curaçao since 2004. Together with awesome speakers, we will see if there is more or nothing else.
Save the date.
Since 2004, Reyna Joe has been the initiator and organizer of the Annual Female Leadership Events in Curaçao. This event is a celebration of women who with all challenges had opportunities in life and who were all role models for future generations. This annual event confirmed during the 2 last decades that it is serving those who have a story to tell, who want to be among peers, who are willing to share with other girls and women, and especially who dare show themselves how great they are.
The 21st consecutive Female Leadership Event in Curaçao will be on May 30th, 2025. Coming soon are details and updates of the ‘3rd Unstoppable Retreat’ from May 31, 2025, to June 2, 2025.
