Building awareness, inspiring survivors to share their stories, and providing platforms to do so have made The Rose a caring community. One of the most prominent platforms is their annual “A Time to Care” Luncheon. Many women in the professional sphere find it impossible to carve out time in their busy schedules for prioritizing their own well being. “A Time to Care” places the focus on this struggle to illuminate how female leaders can sustain a career without ignoring their physical and emotional health.

This year’s inspiration and keynote address will come from Karen Walrond, an attorney, photographer, author, leadership coach and sought-after speaker on topics such as self-empowerment, creativity and innovation.
