Audra Agen
As a corporate veteran, Audra has 25 years’ experience of being one of the few women in the room, and in many cases, the only one. While the women may have been outnumbered, they were all uniquely exceptional. She became fascinated learning more about them and their experiences. It became increasingly clear that these women were contributing significant value to their organizations, families and careers. Their contributions were either being taken for granted or overlooked, sometimes even by themselves. Audra aspired to change that; from that, Women in the Arena was created. It’s a platform unlike any other- it’s a celebration. The motto is celebrate women doing extraordinary things in plain sight. Audra believes that if we start to recognize the value within ourselves, then we can start to acknowledge the value within each other. We start to see that we have more similarities than what appears on the surface.
