Past Event: Wednesday, March 13, 2024

This March, meet our trailblazers!

Trailblazers are pioneers of innovation—the first ones to take the lead towards excellence. These are the people who continuously break new ground and challenge established norms in the pursuit of empowering and creating positive changes within our society.

P&A Grant Thornton will hold its most anticipated Growth in Relationships and Opportunities for Women (G.R.O.W.) Leadership Event on March 13 at 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in celebration of Women's Month. This 2024, the spotlight will be on women leading the change for a more sustainable world. Celebrating these women trailblazers reflects the Firm’s expansive commitment to sustainability and the push for environmental, social, and government (ESG) goals. It is important to understand that sustainability is not merely about nature and the environment; sustainability also encompasses our lives, our dreams, and our hope to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.

So don't miss this opportunity to be a part of something bigger. See you there!
