The event will be held at the prestigious Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa on Friday, March 2, 2018, highlighting women making a difference in Palm Beach County.
This year’s Guest Speaker is Ellen Latham, Partner & Founder of Orangetheory Fitness.

Ellen’s no-nonsense approach whips devoted fans into shape, both in life and the fitness studio. Ellen speaks passionately about overcoming life’s inevitable ups and downs. Her story begins as a single mother having little more than a fitness certification and an internal drive to succeed. An unexpected career setback motivated Ellen to open her first pilates studio in South Florida. There, she created The Ultimate Workout, which quickly became a local phenomenon. In 2010, Ellen co-founded Orangetheory Fitness, an international franchise licensed in 20 countries. Forbes named Orangetheory one of “The Fastest Growing Woman-Owned Businesses” in 2017, and it has been recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc., Bloomberg, and the New York Times for its disruptive science-backed exercise concept.
