Harford County Public Library Hosts 5th Annual Women’s Summit March 3

“Voices that Shape Communities” is the theme of Harford County Public Library’s 5th Annual Women’s Summit on March 3 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Abingdon Library, 2510 Tollgate Road in Abingdon.

The Women’s Summit provides an inspiring day of engaging speakers, empowering conversations and community connections, celebrating the voices and visions of women who are shaping the world.

The featured speakers are Catie Griggs, president of operations for the Baltimore Orioles, and Erin Hodge-Williams, psychotherapist and founder of Time for Women. They will share their leadership journeys and provide real-world tips on how to create healthy boundaries and more. A brief Q&A session will follow both speaker presentations.

The summit will conclude with an uplifting and positive group activity that will ensure everyone leaves on a powerful and united note.

Participants will receive a copy of the featured book, “The Midnight Library,” by Matt Haig, a novel that was the winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction and a Good Morning America Book Club pick.

“We are so fortunate to have Catie Griggs and Erin Hodge-Williams headline this year’s summit. The Library’s Women’s Summit is an opportunity for women of all backgrounds to come together to hear distinguished leaders discuss their professional journeys and learn from their experiences,” said Mary Hastler, CEO of Harford County Public Library. “I am also super excited about the book we are giving to all participants, ‘The Midnight Library,’ which shows the power of libraries to change someone’s life. Many thanks, also, to our sponsors for helping us make the summit happen.”
