The JMSG girls filled the hearts and imaginations of all attendees and inspired us all to create better communities for all of our future leaders.” The historical closing event, entitled “Passing The Baton”, highlighted the unabashed courage and passion of the four legendary leaders, which was equally matched by a vivacious desire to learn, and fearless hope of the JMSG girls. “The most magical moment of the conference was witnessing all different age groups of women inspire each other.
