American Family Insurance’s Chris McDonald, above, speaks during the afternoon session of the 14th Annual Women’s Symposium on Tuesday at Sacred Heart Parish Hall. Right, Rod Rogers was one of two keynote speakers at the event, which drew about 115 participants and 27 exhibitors, according to Jeanine McKenna, president of the Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored the event.
Participation was up from last year, McKenna said, and feedback was positive.
“They all really liked the speakers,” McKenna said. “We give away a lot of door prizes, so we hope everybody walks away with something — good information they can use back at the office or at home.
“It’s a good professional development day for women.”
