Cascadia proudly sponsored the ACG LA Women’s Conference at the beautiful Terrenea Resort yesterday. In additional to the wonderful panels and breakout sessions around positive psychology and breaking into male dominated industries (and staying there!), my favorite part of the day was hosting an intimate dinner with Emma Olcott, CAIA® which brought together ten incredible women from all different areas of business and finance. The conversation was a great reminder that in addition to our professional pursuits, it’s important to find a creative outlet and spend time with family to refresh.
