A few weeks ago my father, Ken Hrdlica, suddenly died. It was awful. He was 69 and very cool. He was well-known in the community, so much so that the local news ran on three separate broadcast...
I recently had the opportunity to attend a women’s networking event hosted by PricewaterhouseCoopers in St. Louis. Our speaker was Adrian Bracy, CEO of the Metro St. Louis YWCA.
