Hirsch inspired the audience with her talk entitled “Empowering Young Female Entrepreneurs”.
“Having run a successful business for the past 38 years I have made a lot of money, however, I never felt fulfilled until I made it my life’s mission to empower and mentor young entrepreneurs to be able to tell their own success stories.
“It is our responsibility as business women to touch as many lives as possible and leave behind a legacy of knowledge,” said Hirsch.
