Visionary Speaker: Betty LaMarr
Impact Table Visionary Speaker Sessions are private member and invite-only gatherings that bring respected women leaders in impact to share about their personal leadership and impact journey and important lessons learned along the way.
Our guests share an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their own leadership and impact journey and share tips and tools they’ve learned, giving members the real talk, connection and truth we all crave and inspiration you can take with you on your own path.
Following the speaker’s share is an open Q&A with the speaker and time for members to break out into small groups.
About Impact Table Visionary Speaker Sessions
Too many women in social impact are under-resourced and under-supported, navigating their leadership and impact journey alone, or in a silo. We know, doing the world’s most important work isn’t a solo gig. One way we can stop patching together a leadership journey built on trial and error and instinct alone is to listen and learn from others share the truth behind how they’ve navigated own leadership and impact journey, and share about our own experiences. Through Impact Table Visionary Speaker Sessions, we remove the veil and the misconceptions of what it takes to lead an impact journey that truly transforms lives and we inspire and equip Impact Table members to elevate their own leadership.
About Betty
Betty LaMarr, Autho & Founder of EMPOWHER INSTITUTE, is a passionate servant leader committed to being a spark to ignite transformation in girl’s and women’s lives. After a successful corporate career, while living in South Africa, Betty saw girls and women who lived with dignity in poverty through their entrepreneurial spirit. She also saw what happens when women gain access to even modest opportunities for empowerment.
Empowered women discover independence; girls seek education, life changes for entire families. Inspired by her South Africa experience, Betty returned to the United States. She founded EmpowHer Institute in 2003 with a small group of committed friends, focused on improving the lives of women and girls. They saw the epidemic of 5 out of 10 minority teens dropping out of high school. That was the start of EmpowHer Girls Academy. Betty passed on the legacy of EmpowHer Institute in January 2021. The organization continues to focus on gender equity, social and economic justice.
Today, Betty is redesigning her next chapter. She is serving on non-profit boards and photo journaling her travels to encourage women to travel and improve self-care and self-love.
