Rise & Lead 1026
Friday, October 9, 2026 (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) (CDT)
Description

Step into a morning designed to inspire, connect, and encourage you to lead with confidence.
Join us for Rise & Lead featuring Dr. Amy Patel, Medical Director of The Breast Care Center at Liberty Hospital, and Mayor Kathy Rose, longtime Mayor of Riverside, Missouri. These two accomplished leaders have made an impact in very different arenas—from healthcare and patient advocacy to community transformation and regional leadership.
Moderated by communications professional Susan Hiland, the conversation will go beyond titles and accomplishments to explore the experiences, challenges, and defining moments that have shaped their leadership. We'll talk about resilience, creating meaningful change, bringing others along, and what they've learned throughout their leadership journeys.
Whether you're a business owner, professional, emerging leader, or simply looking for a fresh perspective, you'll leave with new insights, valuable connections, and renewed motivation to make your own impact.
