This meeting will be the coda to the Footsteps series, Successful Women Entrepreneurs. It takes real courage to go out on ones own but the rewards, financial and personal, can be amazing. My personal journey over the last 16 months has been a delight. I am pleased to be able to bring you a panel of successful women entrepreneurs who will share their experience. The panel will feature Carolyn Ott, founder and President of Inspired Performance, LLC., Lisa Elin, Founder and President/CEO of Safari Technical Staffing and Patricia L. Bennett, founder and President of The Patricia Bennett Group, Inc. and Anne Pauker-Kreitzberg, President, Alignment Advantage Practice, Cognetics Corporation
Unfortunately Lisa Welsher, founder of Innovative Management Solutions, Inc., and Kim Shand, CEO/President and co-founder of Vega Consulting Solutions, were not able to participate due to the date change but hopefully will be able to speak at a future meeting
