Celebrate Women's History Month with a powerful and inspiring keynote address from Dr. Amber Price, President of Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center as she speaks on "The Art of Authenticity".

"Women often describe themselves as having lived inauthentic or “divided” lives in the workplace—essentially acting in a certain way to meet the norms and expectations set by others within male-dominated business cultures. Authentic leadership requires that you show up as your whole self, unapologetically, and lead with a bold resolve." ~Dr. Amber Price, President, Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center
