Engaging with these remarkable women, who are intellectual powerhouses, making significant strides in both business and the broader world, left a permanent impression."

"I particularly enjoyed learning about how the CEO of The She Suite began her career and how she "stood on a mountain of no’s to get one yes" in order to become the innovator that she is today. I’d like to express sincere gratitude to General Dynamics for being a premier sponsor of this event and for supporting its employees’ participation."

I am grateful that I work for an organization that supports participation and sponsorship for a women’s summit focused on empowerment and growth. I personally felt this was a rewarding and impactful experience both personally and professionally."

"As a first-time attendee for the 2024 She-Suite Summit, I felt empowered and enlightened by the multiple sessions in this women-focused conference! I not only learned how to elevate my career, but I also learned how to be a better leader. My favorite takeaways are “be clear about what you want and ask for it often,” “equity is not equality,” and “lean into your fears as this is your biggest growth opportunity!”
I appreciate that my employer, General Dynamics Mission Systems, gave me the opportunity to attend such an inspirational women-focused event on international women’s day!"

As a new employee, being a part of an organization committed to supporting your professional growth is invaluable and incredibly significant. It signifies a unique environment where your development is prioritized, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning."
