As a Member of Wnet, you know that connecting with others helps us create a stronger and more diverse industry. Our best opportunity is coming up this fall at our Leadership Summit in Atlanta. We will get together not only for learning and networking, but also to celebrate the 15 years that Wnet has been working to empower and invest in women. I hope you will join me and hundreds of other leaders in the paytech ecosystem as we invest in ourselves and each other. Make the Connection. Be the Connection.
