Get Wild! with Vicki Clark Recap

The Junior League of Springfield hosted ‘Get Wild! with Vicki Clark’ on August 22, 2017 at the Springfield Art Museum. Get Wild! featured key note speaker, Vicki Clark, a non-profit leader and consultant from Memphis, Tennessee. Vicki brought lots of positive energy and laughs to the room with her presentation titled  “11 Commandments of Wildly Successful Women.”

Over 160 women from across the community (some traveling all the way from Kansas City!) with red clappers in hand participated in a morning of uplifting entertainment. A short networking event was hosted immediately prior to Vicki’s presentation and delicious catering was provided by Dining by Design.

Vicki kicked off her presentation by asking audience members to stand and recognize a strong female role model in their life and many attendees volunteered to share. Throughout her presentation Vicki provided great advice on being a strong woman and how it is incredibly important to lift each other up as women in our communities. Vicki pushed us as women to break through preset expectations and to not worry about what others think. Vicki concluded her presentation by calling volunteers on stage to lead us in a cheer for ALL wild women and remind us we are here for each other.

Vicki is an amazing speaker for professional women of all ages. Attendees left feeling empowered and uplifted by her presentation.

Thank you so much to all those that attended!
