Bringing Legacy to Life with Marie Tillman Shenton

Join us for an inspiring lunch at Towne & Oak in Winnetka, where we’ll gather to explore the meaning of legacy—what it is, how we create it, and why it matters.

We are honored to welcome Marie Tillman Shenton, an internationally recognized founder, philanthropist, author, and leader who has dedicated her career to helping others find their unique path to impact. Marie understands firsthand the delicate balance of pursuing purpose while managing the demands of daily life—she is a mother of five children, giving her a deeply relatable perspective on the challenges and joys of creating a legacy while raising a family and staying engaged in community and career.

Marie is passionate about guiding others to discover their own legacy, using the greatest assets from their lives and work to create impact. She has shared her story on stages across the country, from corporate retreats to nonprofit conferences and academic institutions, encouraging others to step into their purpose with confidence and intention. Her memoir, “The Letter”, explores love, loss, and resilience, offering an intimate look at her personal journey.

During this special gathering, Marie will discuss Bringing Legacy to Life, sharing her perspective on how we can live with intention and impact while juggling the many roles we play. She will introduce her Three C’s of Legacy: Clarity, Communication, and Consistency, offering practical insights into defining our purpose and taking action. She will also share how she found her own path to this work, why it fuels her passion, and how each of us can begin crafting our own legacy—no matter where we are in our journey.

Legacy isn’t just something we leave behind; it’s something we build every day through our actions, values, and the impact we have on others. As women, we take on many roles—mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, leader, volunteer—and in each of these roles, we have the power to shape a legacy that is both personal and purposeful. 

This is more than a lunch, it’s an opportunity to reflect, recharge, and connect with like-minded women who are passionate about living with purpose. Set at Suite Escape’s favorite spot Towne & Oak in Winnetka, this event will nourish both body and soul.

Seats are limited, reserve your spot today and take this opportunity to reflect on the legacy you’re building every day.
