Another opportunity to network!

Fresh from the fabulous National Association of Professional Womens' (NAPW) conference which took place in May and attracted hundreds of women, (see an earlier article about this event in Valerie's Gallery) , another wonderful opportunity for networking is taking place this month for a much more intimate group.

The 2nd annual Women's Empowerment Summit is happening on Saturday June 23rd honoring 20 women in media, publishing and the financial sector. I am delighted to mention that I am one of the women who will be honored in addition to author and media personality Rita Cosby, international speaker and guru of how to ask for anything Laura Fredricks, Broadway producer Pat Addiss and many others.

This event is a terrific way to hear from industry insiders about their careers, what they have learned through their successes and more importantly,their failures. If you attend, be sure to bring a lot of business cards for networking opportunities.

The event, created by The IT Factor's Alycia Kaback was sold out last year and is on track to do the same this year.

The IT Factor serves to connect new talent and entrepreneurs with professionals in the field of performance, modeling and business. A portion of the proceeds from this year's summit will go to support The Ronald McDonald House.

The 2nd annual Womens' Empowerment Summit will take place at DCTV 87 Lafayette St. in Manhattan from 10AM to 4PM.

Hope to see you there.
