Texas Women’s Foundation luncheon speaker: Young professionals can learn now what not to do later as a leader

Well over 1,000 supporters crowded into a ballroom Thursday for the 34th annual Texas Women’s Foundation luncheon.

Amplify Women was the key message.

But it wasn’t anybody in that room at the Hilton Antatole that got the full impact of that lesson.

It was the large crowd of teenagers and college-aged women in the adjacent ballroom who were watching a live stream of the event.

Renowned author, journalist and judge on the new Project Runway show Elaine Welteroth, who told numerous stories that resonated with the younger attendees, finished her keynote conversation with a bit of sage advice for the younger women just starting their professional careers.
