About Our Guest Speakers
Kathy McAfee is known as America’s Marketing Motivator. She works with organizations to help them build more robust, diverse leadership pipelines, and with individual professionals who want to be known as experts in their fields. She is the creator of The Fearless Leader program, and author of four books, including Networking Ahead and Defining YOU. Kathy is a champion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and marries her expertise with this personal mission. Over the coming decade, she will be focused on raising up “the hidden leaders”-- professionals with talent and potential, but who lack traditional access to resources and mentorship necessary for them to advance their careers and contributions to their organizations and communities. Kathy is originally from California and now resides in Greenville, South Carolina with her husband Byron. She is a member of the Greenville Rotary Club and serves on the program committee.
