Join us at the Barrick Lecture Series as Nely Galán discusses Becoming Self Made. With stories from her book about inspiring women who started and grew businesses out of ingenuity, opportunity and need, Galán empowers women (as well as the men and the organizations that support them) to take financial control of their own lives with a self-made mindset. In this presentation she inspires people to explore their entrepreneurial potential and arms them with resources and tools to gain financial self-reliance.

Nely Galán is the founder of Galán Entertainment and former President of Entertainment of the Telemundo television network—the first Latina president at a major network. Galán, a self-made media entrepreneur, is an Emmy award- winning producer of over 700 television shows in English and Spanish. She produced the hit reality series The Swan for 20th Century Fox through her multi-media company Galán Entertainment.
