Join Us for a Day of Bold Action!
Back by popular demand, this full-day experience is designed to help leaders reflect, restore, and recommit. Together, we’ll turn dialogue into change and fuel a collective commitment to unity and a healthier future. New this year: It’s open to the public!
While Empowerment Sunday has always been an anticipated event for attendees of our Annual Conference, it is now open to all and serves as an added complimentary offering for those who only want to attend the Gala or Ball.
Whether you are closing out your conference experience, wrapping up a weekend with friends, or simply joining us on Sunday, this gathering is designed to equip you with tools to protect your health and pour into others! Leave equipped to actively address health disparities in your community. Feel empowered with tools to manage your own health, navigate care systems, and advocate effectively for others.
With so many of the 9th Annual Conference attendees participating, Empowerment Sunday is a unique opportunity for the Charlotte community and the biopharma industry to unite, build trust, and advance health equity together!
