By Women for Women: A Panel Discussion 

Can Women starting business learn more from Women who have created successful businesses?  Maybe.  Come and find out by hearing 5 very successful operators of women owned businesses…their accomplishments and their mistakes along the way.

Savvy, experienced and tested, these panelists have all started and run their own companies. This impressive group will share their business know-how in a hands-on seminar, presenting their hard-won knowledge and experiences. This is an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and missteps, as well as their successes. The workshop includes ample time for questions and answers, as well as discussions that will focus on key elements of running a small business.
