Panel:
Kimberly LaBounty. Apex Mgt. & Special Events Women business owners are a
growing and significant force in our economy, society and
culture. Thirty-five percent of small business owners
are women. Have you ever wondered
what draws these women to the business world?
How they chose their product or service or where to locate their
business? How do these businesswomen
give back to the community? Do they
look beyond product and service toward a larger goal or mission?
For the
September Supper program, we have assembled a panel of
distinguished women
business owners who will address these questions and tell about the
path each has followed. They will discuss their experience
in
business as well as their
motivations and goals, their successes and challenges. They will
also touch on the unique advantages
and opportunities associated with being business owners in
In addition to our
panel, we will
