Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs
Join the Bay Area’s most powerful
women in business at our 6th annual gala

will make the dream of business ownership
a reality for hundreds of high-potential,
low-income women.

| Linda Hothem, CEO, Pacific American Services |
Linda Hothem will receive
this year’s Founders’ Award.
As CEO of Pacific American Group, Linda
runs one of the largest privately owned
businesses in the Bay Area. A role model
for us all, investing in people has always
been the cornerstone of her professional
life. She places a firm emphasis on educating
and training the employees at Pacific America
Group. “It is important that people
be taught to invest in themselves, first
and foremost,” says Linda Hothem.
The evening will also highlight the achievements
of our graduates while raising much-needed
funds to support our work. The members of
the Leadership Council will ensure the financial
success of this elegant evening. Our goal
is to raise $500,000 in cash plus in-kind
donations to support more women entrepreneurs
in 2008.
Marketplace of Women’s Initiative
