Authentic Leadership
A Series for Women
All women are leaders. Some of us have felt the calling from birth, others have come to this status more reluctantly. But God’s plan for you dictates that you are ready to impact the world in a way only YOU can!
You have been blessed with a unique skill set that calls you to lead in your business, your service to others, and your family. This unique leadership series is designed with you in mind.
With three dynamic and accomplished speakers you’ll be inspired, energized and better equipped to be the leader He wants you to be.
Join fellow Christian leaders, businesswomen, and friends for a time of inspiration, wisdom, worship, and networking!

Gretchen founded and launched June Care in August of 2021 in the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Core to the June Care brand is their vision: moms supporting moms in their most important work… whether that work is inside or outside the home.
