TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Women in the capital city gathered Wednesday for the annual "Building Legacies" conference hosted by Tallahassee Community College.
Started in 2013, the conference acts as "professional development" for women who want to reach the next level in their personal and professional lives.
The "Building Legacies" conference began as a way for TCC to raise money for a scholarship geared at helping women go back to school.
This year's theme is "Lead, Serve, and Inspire," and it features speakers who have taken bold steps to attain success.
Former Congressional Representative Gwen Graham was today's keynote speaker.
"My message today to the women here, is a wonderful group, was to get out in the community," said Graham. "Serve your community. Run for office. We need more women engaged in every aspect of our society."
There will be three more "Building Legacies" conferences this year, with the proceeds going to TCC's "Building Legacies Scholarship."
