Photos are now available from the 2019 SMARTgirl Leadership and Mentoring Summit. Powered by SRQ MEDIA’s Women In Business platform, the 2019 SMARTgirl Leadership and Mentoring Summit took place at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota on Friday, March 15, 2019. The program was designed to engage girls in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades to imagine their future careers and create the tools they will need to succeed through mentorship, soft skills training and hands-on workshops with some of the community’s top women leaders.

Thank you to our fantastic SMARTgirl mentors, an audience of over seventy SMARTgirls, and the 2019 program speakers: Mark Smith of The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art; Keynote Speaker, Roxie Jerde of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County; SMARTgirl Partner Alumni Speaker, Britney Guertin of Visit Sarasota County and representing the Boys & Girls Club of Sarasota County, and Interactive Workshop Speaker, Blair Bloomston of Game On Nation.  

We could not have had such a successful summit and luncheon without the support of our 2019 SMARTgirl Sponsors: Career Edge, Community Foundation of Sarasota County, New Balance of Sarasota and University Park, New College of Florida, Sue Ellen’s Floral Boutique, and The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art. Thank you to host sponsor Hyatt Regency Sarasota, audio visual sponsor PSAV, and to our 2019 Participating SMARTgirl Partner Organizations: Boys & Girls Club of Sarasota County, Girls Inc., Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, and the YMCA.
