My Women's Initiative



Kick it into high gear
at the business conference & reunion
for Women’s Initiative graduates and local entrepreneurs

» ADD THIS EVENT TO MY OUTLOOK CALENDAR

Join the business conference for seminars and networking to help you take your business to the next level. The seminars and speed mentoring sessions are designed to meet the needs of lower-income women entrepreneurs, although attendence is open to all business owners.

At the Leadership Luncheon we will honor local entrepreneur Carol H. Williams, who has grown her business Carol H. Williams Advertising into a national company, with the Pacesetter Award. Ms. Williams will talk about starting her business, being a trendsetter in the industry, and helping companies reach out to the African American market. On either side of the luncheon visit and shop at the tradeshow and resource fair. By visiting the booths, you also earn a ticket to win fabulous raffle prizes. If you plan to shop and get a head start on holiday gifts don't forget cash, check book, or a credit card!
